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.
NOT SURE WHICH BANK SERVES YOU?211Ontario, 24/7 — they match by address

Ottawa detail page — 28 programs from the Ottawa Food Bank public map → That page is a different, smaller list than this page's Ottawa filter, which includes every directory food listing in Ottawa. Both lists are shown, with the difference explained on the Ottawa page.
Start Here — Before You Go
- 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.
