Join our Network!
Are you a food security organization providing food to people in your community in the province of New Brunswick? Are you filling an identified need in food security programming? (I.e meal program)
The New Brunswick Food Depot Alimentaire is the new provincial association of food banks for Food Banks Canada, supporting a national network of over 3000 food banks, kitchens, shelters, and nonprofits supporting food security across the country.
Currently, New Brunswick has 62 member agencies.
- Joining this network provides your organization with the opportunity to access provincial and national -food supply purchases and donations free of charge
- food retail program gives access to food recovery initiatives for member agencies
- funding opportunities through grants, specified donations, and national campaigns
- Support through network standards, communications, and sharing of best practices among members.
- Access to Link2Feed database system at free of charge
At the NBFDA we support close collaboration and sharing of resources between agencies. Our application to the membership is two-tiered.
The initial inquiry will allow our Advisory Committee to review the organization’s needs and location and determine whether the organization has the potential to partner with a local food bank as a “satellite” to receive support. The local food bank or agency would then provide administration support, donations, and access to services through their own membership.
The criteria for review includes
- Location and proximity of local food bank or current member agency
- Description of programs, number of people served and evaluate possible duplication of services
- Identify barriers to access within community for certain populations (BIPOC, religion etc)
- Identify capacity within community and potentials for partnerships
The final inquiry will be in the form of a proposal requesting more detailed information about your organization’s governance, operations, statistics, and programming.
Annual Membership Fees:
$250 Small food bank – 1-299 individuals served
$500 Medium food bank – 300-599 individuals served
FOOD DEPOT WEEKLY 50/50 DRAW
We all have heard how it “takes a village to raise a child”, well in that same vain we believe it “takes a community to feed its hungry”.
How Does the Food Depot 50/50 Draw Work?
- You must be registered to play. Register by providing your name and phone number at any of the retail outlets listed below and you will be assigned a PLAYER NUMBER which will also be your TICKET NUMBER.
- At the start of each weekly draw, one ticket with the TICKET NUMBER on it for every registered player will physically drop into a large drum at the Food Depot Alimentaire.
- On draw day, Food Depot draws ONE ticket from the drum and identifies through the computer if the number on the ticket drawn was purchased that week.
- If you purchased your $2.00 ticket for that draw and your ticket is drawn on Draw Day, you would be a WINNER and collect one-half of the jackpot.
- If you DID NOT purchase your $2.00 ticket for that draw and your ticket is drawn, then you would be a NON-WINNER, collect zero and the entire jackpot would roll over to the next week.
- All tickets are then removed from the drum and the process repeats itself the following week.
- You do not have to be at home at the time of the draw to win. The winner has 12 months from the draw date to claim their winnings.
- The purchase of 3/$5.00 activates the ticket already in the drum as well as drops two additional tickets into the drum for a total of three chances to win and a 10/$10.00 purchase activates the ticket in the drum and drops an additional nine tickets into the drum for a total of ten chances to win.
- The “- #” after each ticket number indicates the individual ticket in the drum for that draw.
- There is no limit on the number of tickets you can purchase.
Where Do You Register and Play Each Week?

Food Recovery Program
Together we can make Moncton a zero waste city

The FRP is a collaborative program made up of 7 agencies across Greater Moncton who benefit from food recovered products on a weekly basis. The Food Depot Alimentaire facilitates the program by gathering retail partners to donate their food once it is ready to be pulled from the shelves, including meat, fish, produce and dairy. Our refrigerated vehicle
