GFB Fundraising & Events

Fundraising events and food drives help the Guelph Food Bank procure much needed foods and generate funds to support our food programs at our main hub, satellite sites and agency partners throughout the City of Guelph and beyond.
With almost 5,000 individuals who need our help monthly (Mar 2026), and 37% of those being children,
your help is very much appreciated, in any way you can give it.

Consider a cash donation today!
We can stretch your dollar 2-3x more with our volume purchasing programs.

Make some cash, share some cash!

Coming back in January by popular demand! Stay tuned for announcements for dates and times for this great opportunity to exchange your unwanted and broken gold and silver jewellery and items for cash. There is no obligation to donate the value or portion of the value of your exchange.

Coming back again in January, 2024. Check back for announcements

Come in and shop!

We've opened a NEW store to help support our neighbours in need with more than just food support. This store will also be open to the public which allows us to use the funds collected to support our food programs as the need grows in our community.
Please note that currently we are NOT taking clothing donations from the public.

Join us for a night of awareness and action as we discuss how the homeless and housing crisis affect social services in Guelph after the primiere showing of 'Anna Kaljas: The Untold Story' of a woman who made a difference in the lives of the homeless but it seems we have not learned how to carry on her legacy as a society.
