Welcome to Food Bank on Wheels
What makes us different?
We provide perishable & non-perishable food hampers to Single Parent Families who are poor or in need and cannot go to a regular Food Bank due to an illness or disability in the family.
Make a donation to help us with our
‘SHARE YOUR CHRISTMAS’ 2024
HOME DELIVERED FOOD HAMPERS
What Makes Us Different?
We are currently running our annual ‘Share Your Christmas’ campaign to provide essential perishable & non-perishable foods that include Turkey / Ham / Fish & fixings, along with Gift Cards per Child / Teen / Parent to Single Parent Families and their children that have a Disability / Illness in the family that prevents them from going to a traditional food back, thus needing our home delivery service.
Since most food banks or Christmas Bureaus do not deliver, that’s where we step in.
How will your donation help?
Our cost of each ‘Share Your Christmas’ hamper is $250 per Single Parent & 1 Child, with an additional $50 per Child/Teen with families that have more than 1 Child/Teen.
Each hamper will consist of a purchased Turkey / Ham / Fish & fixings, purchased perishable foods such as milk, eggs, cheese, fresh fruits and vegetables and non-perishable foods, along with donated sundry items and Christmas goodies for the kids. Each Child/Teen & Single Parent will receive a $50 Gift Card as a Christmas Gift.
We have to secure funds by Dec 13, 2024.
All deliveries will start Dec 14 to Dec 21, 2024.
Your immediate support is crucial!

– $250: Provides Single Parent & one child with a food hamper
$50 gift card for one parent and one kid/teen– $500: Supports two Single Parent families and two children with
$50 gift cards for each child/teen– $1000: Helps Four Single Parent families and four children have a

“Fantastic charity……amazing people. I’m a single mother of 4 on disability. They have helped me immensely, with food when needed to school supplies and even laptops. I also volunteer when I’m able and love to help people who are in similar situations.”
“My L5-L4 discs in my spine are degenerative and I’m literally in pain from time I wake up to til I go to bed ! My son is autistic and has Asperger’s and has issues with being in public. I’m unable to go to a regular food bank as I can not carry hamper or stand for long periods. Also I cant bring my son because he does not do well in public.
I really appreciate being assisted by you guys.
I don’t have a way to get to the food bank and travel back.”
I have really bad social anxiety and depression and Hip Dysplasia. I’m also a single mom of 3 kids and have my grandmother with me so I can not leave her alone due to her health.

“My boys and I recommended Food Bank on Wheels!!
This year has already had its toughness and then we add a break up with my children’s father (they are in process of transitioning and prefer males over females, and unfortunately it meant an end for all of us as a family). Lots of struggles now trying to juggle full rent, full bills and full everything on my own and add in covid 19 and no work. I decided to try and better myself to give my boys and I a better life so I enrolled in school on top of my son starting kindergarten and trying to juggle everything doesn’t allow for time to go to a regular food bank and back since I do not have my license as that’s just one expense I can’t add on top of everything else. Not able to go to a regular food bank as my time and stresses juggling everything are already so thin they have been a life saver and the look on my sons eyes when they give him the things he absolutely loves gives me a glimpse of hope and not an absolute failure. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and it’s such a blessing. God bless everyone and thank you so so very much! ”
