Since 1910, the Windsor Goodfellows have been dedicated to helping those in need no matter the time of year.
Our weekly Food Bank operation is one of the largest expenses of the Windsor Goodfellows organization and is funded through a combination of fundraising such as our annual Holiday Newspaper Drive, Appeals Mailout campaign, Golf Tournament and the generosity of the community via donations.
Hunger is a year-round issue that affects many families in our community.
That is why the Windsor Goodfellows maintain a weekly food bank providing thousands of families with non-perishable staples, fresh fruit, vegetables and dairy products, as well as lean ground beef and/or whole fryer chickens. Through our Food Bank program, we strive to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry.
We provide food to the following associations in Windsor – Essex County:
- Matthew House
- Caesar’s Adjustment Committee
- Iris House
- Windsor Residence for Young Men
- St. Clair College Student Council
- House of Sophrosyne
