Food banks, food cupboards and meal programs in Ontario
824 Ontario food listings from the directory, organized by city and region — not a sample. Some organisations appear more than once in the source with different sites or hours; call to confirm which site serves you. If you need food tonight, start with 211 Ontario (dial 211) or the listing for your own city below, and call ahead: hours, ID rules and whether an appointment is needed vary by program.
Check the local listing first for hours, whether an appointment or referral is needed, and what ID or proof of address it asks for. There is no universal Ontario rule — banks set their own.
No fixed address? Most community food banks will still serve you. Enter an address or postal code close to you and explain your situation to the bank.
Cannot travel? Some banks offer home delivery or other accommodations for disability or mobility barriers — ask the local bank directly.
Food cupboard vs food bank vs meal program: a food bank or cupboard usually gives take-home groceries; a meal program serves a hot meal on site; a community kitchen cooks together. The notes on each card say which it is, where the source said so.

A note on completeness: these listings come from the Ontario Resource Directory, which is maintained from provider websites and 211 Ontario. A program can move, change hours, or close between updates — call ahead, and if a listing here is wrong, tell EmergencyHousing.ca so it can be corrected. Ottawa-specific programs from the Ottawa Food Bank lookup are being merged next, city by city, as that research returns.
