How it Works
Your First Visit to Manna
The Manna Food Bank is open Tuesdays from 11 am - 6 pm & Fridays 11 am - 4 pm with the exception of statutory holidays.
Our mission is to ensure that the immediate needs of the hungry are met, and to treat our clients with dignity and respect.
For first time clients it is necessary to collect some information.
We must collect this information for record-keeping purposes in order to understand the make-up of the families we serve.
The Manna Food Bank maintains files containing information about its clients. Your personal information is confidential. We will never share it with anyone.
If you are in need of groceries, we’re here to help!
First you will need to create an account. This is done by going to the client page on this website and click on Order Groceries. There you will see a link to New Client Information Form which needs to be completed. You will need an email address. If you do not have an email address then please phone us at 705 646-0114 and we will assist you.
Please note when you arrive at the food bank for your first visit some photo ID for you and every member of your household will be required.
If your situation changes, please update your information on file with us, i.e. number of family members living in your home, new address, new telephone number.
You will be assigned points based on the number of people in your family living in your home.
You are asked to fill out a grocery order form in which items have a point value. Peanut butter is worth 3 points, and canned pasta is worth 2 points for example. You then select what you need, using up the value of points that you are assigned.
Subsequent Visits to Manna
Our clients may use the food bank once every three weeks. However: it is our policy that no hungry person or family will be turned away from Manna.
