Members are invited to drop by the Fairfield Community Centre to pick up a changing assortment of non-perishable staples, fresh bread, produce, dairy, and toiletries. Please bring your own bags.

You can sign up for a hamper by following the website link to our Google form. Sign up opens on the 20th day of the month before and closes when it fills. For example: if you would like to sign up for March, sign up would open February 20th.

Sign-ups for deliveries operate on a monthly basis. We have a capacity of 80 households we can support each month. We are only able to provide hampers to folks whose postal codes start with: V8X, V8N, V8P, V8R, V8T, V8W, V8S, V8V and V9A. We do not have the ability to deliver to Sooke or the West Shore.
