Eden Foods has a Fresh Produce Program for everyone (not just those accessing the food bank). Every Friday morning they go to the Ontario Food Terminal and purchase an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables directly from suppliers at a low cost. The Fresh Produce Boxes are assembled and distributed by volunteers and available for pickup every Friday. Orders must be placed prior to 4 PM on Thursday for pickup on Friday of the same week. If you are a food bank member, you can enter your membership number on the order form and receive your box for $10.00 for a small box or $20.00 for a large box. ($15.00 and $20.00 consecutively for all others). When you pick up they ask that you bring cash to pay and bags or boxes to take home your healthy, affordable and fresh produce. Pick up locations in Mississauga and Brampton are available and you need to specify.
