What We Do

In Oxford County, 1 in 4 households is experiencing food insecurity.
That means families are skipping meals, eating less, or going days without food—right here in our community.

We rescue surplus food and distribute it to the charities and not-for-profits feeding people every day—so they can serve more, waste less, and reach further.

What we do

Food Rescue Hub is a food warehouse based in Woodstock, Ontario, serving Oxford County.
We are the link between food donors (such as growers, producers, processors, distributors and retailers) and the frontline charities and not-for-profits feeding people every day. The Food Rescue Hub makes it easier, faster, and more efficient for these organizations to access surplus food and then use it where it’s needed most: to feed people who do not have enough to eat.

The Food Rescue Hub was created for a simple but urgent reason: too much good food is going to waste, while too many vulnerable people in our community are struggling to eat.

The purpose of the Food Rescue Hub is to support, strengthen, and make it easier to expand the work already being done by charities and non-profit organizations who feed people going hungry in Oxford County. Working together, we can help more people in our neighbourhoods who often don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

Every meal starts somewhere – and it starts with us
