Harvesting for the cause

With the help of a group of volunteer gardeners, the Jardins Partage Vanier group cultivates fruits, herbs, medicinal herbs, and fresh vegetables. This helps us enhance food boxes with fresh and nutritious food.

Book an appointment

If you have an urgent need for food and you are a resident of Vanier, you can make an appointment at the Partage Vanier Food Bank to receive a free food box that will last you about 5 days. Boxes are limited to one per month.
