When the London Food Bank was first started in 1986, co-directors Jane Roy and Glen Pearson determined that it should be largely volunteer-run and fully transparent to the community at large. Now in its 35th year, the Food Bank continues to flourish specifically because of its great volunteers, a committed staff, and a community that continues to donate supplies year after year. The London Food Bank is an important part of this functioning city and we invite you to explore more of how we function and who we serve.
The London & Area Food Bank was officially incorporated on January 1, 1987. It is a non-profit, charitable organization, governed by a community board of directors.
yes it is heart wrenching to hear how many Canadian's are struggling and it has been a long time accumulating I agree; and yet what we are seeing is unprecedented. It is the opposition's job to hold the government accountable and in doing so have made changes in housing as a result. They have also weeded out a number of scandals by the Liberals. I don't think it is fodder for power if we see Pierre walk his talk: time will tell. Let's hope for positive change and thanks for your share.
Thank you for this interview. It challenges each of us to take the next step...and it brings hope. Thank you Kevin and Glen! Yes...'a bright light in this community during a very dark time'...
Inspiring! I'd love to volunteer in a program like Art for All Kids, especially if a second branch opened up closer to home such as the Kiwanis Community Center. There is great need for accessibility to the arts for all ages and stages of life. The community is grateful to you for sure, Karen and team.
