The Kids First Food Bank is set to reopen its doors after closing in March due to COVID-19.

The Food Bank has completed renovations while they were closed to remodel to ensure no contact distribution of food.

This includes only one family being allowed into the building at a time, social distancing measures while waiting in line, and plexiglass barriers have been installed.

They ask that guests wear a mask whenever possible, and staff and volunteers will be doing the same.

While they assess the new procedures we have put into place, the weeks of June 8th to 12th and 15th to 19th, they will be open on Mondays and Fridays from 1:30pm to 4pm.

Beginning the week of June 22nd, they will be open Monday and Friday from 1:30pm to 4pm and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 11:30am
At the time of the visit, a person’s Link2Feed ID number OR the following information must be provided: name, birth date, address, email address, source of income and the names/birth dates of each person living in the home.

“We understand this is a scary and frustrating time for everyone. We ask the community to appreciate that we are truly doing the best we can and to be patient with the new procedure. We are thinking ahead to the future beyond the pandemic so we are able to continue to help people in need when this all passes. We know that this will have a long term impact on our community. We are being proactive in our planning to be able to serve Windsor/Essex when our community is back to what the new normal will be. We are in this together, Windsor/Essex. Please be kind to each other,” said Angela Yakonich, Executive Director.
