London and Area Food Bank Inc.
Overview
London and Area Food Bank Inc., a nonprofit and charitable organization, was officially incorporated on January 1, 1987. It is governed by a community board of directors and operates as a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) under the registration number 136203205RR0001[2][3].
Mission and Mandate
The London Food Bank is dedicated to helping the community share its food resources. Its mandate includes two key roles:
- Front-line Agency: Assisting individuals struggling financially by providing them with essential food supplies.
- Food Warehouse: Serving as a distribution center, the organization works collaboratively with other agencies to support those in need[3].
Impact
In recent years, the London Food Bank has made significant contributions to food security in the region. For example, in the fiscal year 2023, it provided aid to 16,667 households, amounting to assistance for 38,775 individuals. Of those individuals, 38% were children and youth, while 8% were adults aged 60 or older[5].
Operations and Funding
The organization's operational costs include administrative, fundraising, and total spending to maintain its services. It has managed to build a substantial reserve that can cover over four years of program costs at current spending levels[5]. The London Food Bank is a member of Feed Ontario and Food Banks Canada, enhancing its capacity to address food insecurity and promote food security across the community[2].
Evaluation
The London Food Bank is recognized as a 3-star charity by Charity Intelligence Canada, with a high demonstrated impact in its community. However, it faces challenges in reporting results and financial transparency[5]. Despite these challenges, the organization remains committed to supporting vulnerable populations through its food distribution initiatives.
History and Founders
The London Food Bank was founded in 1987 by Glen Pearson and Jane Roy, marking a significant milestone in efforts to combat food insecurity in the region[5].
Current Challenges
The demand for food bank services continues to rise, partly due to economic uncertainties and population needs. The organization emphasizes the importance of community support and donations to ensure ongoing food security for all Londoners[1].

Helping a generous community share its food resources Demand on the food bank continues to rise and with the unknown effects coming from tariffs south of the border the future for food banks across the country is more uncertain than it has ever been. The theme for this years drive is Elbows Up Arms Out. This nations food banks join with all Canadians to ensure that our decisions are our own and that we are pulling together to maintain our sovereignty as a nation. Nevertheless the economic changes that are sweeping the land will create far more vulnerable families in the near future and it is the London Food Banks determination to hold our arms out to provide as much food security as we can in these coming months.
