Here To Serve
At Fire of God Community Outreach Centre, our food program operates through a $30 donation, which helps us continue serving the community while maintaining our building and delivery trucks. Upon making a donation, individuals receive a number and are welcome to stay and wait for their turn to be called. Once their number is called, they can go downstairs and choose their own groceries, selecting the items that best suit their needs. This system allows individuals and families to have control over their food choices while ensuring everyone gets the support they need. Through the generosity of our community, we remain committed to providing food assistance with dignity, care, and the love of Christ.
The Process
Step 1: Register
Once you enter the building you can go upstairs to register. There you will receive a stamp and a number after a donation of $30 has been made. If you are unable there is a free bag option. For the free bag we do require ID and it is limited to one per househodl and only given twice a month
Step 2: Wait
Should you leave before your number is called a staff member will ask you to leave your number behind and when you return you will receive a new number. There are limited exceptions. We call down groups of 5 people do start lining up.
Step 3: Choose
Once you head downstairs you will be welcome by many staff. There will be volunteers at each station letting you know the limit of items per section . If there is something you do not want you are able to refuse.
