What We Do
Serving Those in Need
Community Food Share serving Dundas and Stormont Counties.
Community Food Share began in 1991 as the Dundas County Food Bank. Now a registered charity, CFS has expanded to serve a broader area with a wider range of supports.
At the heart of our operations are our Healthy Choices Food Banks, located in Winchester and Morrisburg, along with a satellite site in Finch serving North Stormont.
In addition to emergency food assistance, Community Food Share continues to grow and evolve—offering new programs that promote health, dignity, education, and community connection.
Our other services include tax prep assistances, community gardens, community advocate, growing futures, and partnering with the North Dundas Christmas Fund, South Dundas Christmas Exchange, and Heat for the Holidays.
