Hi, I’m a local Beekeeper and wanted to know if you would accept honey. I am not labeled for retail sale but am allowed to give and sell myself at farmers markets and from home. Let me know, thanks.

I am afraid your product would fall under the “home-made” category – which is a shame. Fresh, pure honey would be such a treat. So the answer is no – we cannot accept. We really appreciate your asking us.

Ah, ok I thought it may be a issue. I will see how else i can get the honey to help out. Thanks, will be in touch.

I grew too much leaf lettuce. If it sits too long it would go wilty, currently growing. Can you use it?

When would be a good time to drop off lettuce to you, tomorrow? Or is there another day that is better for you?

do you take frozen lunches?

That is a tricky question. Is it a store bought lunch? Has it been kept frozen? Has its best before date past? Sorry to be so picky but food bank rules are very strict.

I have noticed on facebook posts recently, that there is a lot of confusion over the difference between best before dates and expired food. Will you accept food that the best before date has passed? I know that expired food is a hard no and should be composted. There seems to be little clarification out there.What is your position on this?
With thanks,
Barbara Purdy from CPEAC

Hi Barbara – we do accept non-perishable food past its best before date … up to a year past … which are the guidelines we have from Food Banks Canada. We give expired and food that is more than a year old to a farmer who feeds their stock.
