pinecrest terrace community Food Bank

---

The Pinecrest Terrace Food Bank is a member agency of the Ottawa Food Bank. The volunteers who run the food bank strive to offer a positive experience and make everyone feel welcomed.  On Wednesdays and Fridays, volunteers are on hand to serve coffee and tea to visitors. During the colder months, a soup lunch is offered on Wednesdays at 12:30 p.m-1:30 p.m. to coincide with the food bank hours. The soup is homemade by volunteers and is served by volunteers. We regret that the Community House space is not wheelchair accessible, feel free to contact us to see if/how we can accommodate you.
