RAINBOW FOODBANK
A Member of Feed Nova Scotia
Reaching out for help can be difficult — but you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to support you with compassion, dignity, and respect every step of the way.
To access our food bank services, you will first need to register as a member. To arrange an intake appointment, please contact , our Foodbank Coordinator, by phone at 902-391-0491 or by email at tonya@geraldhardysociety.ca.
During your intake, we will ask a few questions to complete your registration. Please bring:
-
A piece of identification for each member of your household
-
If possible, a piece of mail showing your name and current home address
We believe that no one should have to explain or justify their personal or financial circumstances in order to receive support. Our role is simply to help — without judgment.
The Rainbow Foodbank serves community members once per month by appointment or drop in on designated Wednesdays. At registration, you will receive a schedule of upcoming food distribution dates and food pickup information.
Each food pickup typically includes 3–5 days’ worth of food per person in your household.
We also understand that emergencies happen. If you are experiencing an urgent situation, please call us ahead of time and we will do our best to arrange emergency food support.
