The Samaritan House Ministries Food Bank is at an all time low! Please donate big or small!!! They are down to two pallets of soup and beans! This bank help feeds 1400 people in Brandon, 700 which are children! Let's pull together and make a difference! I saw on Photography By Dale Facebook they are offering $50 gift card to anyone who comes July 6-10 between 1-4 pm with a donation, if you need more incentive! Please no judgemental comments, as until you know someone's story you are not one to judge.

Where are all the drop off points?  
 
Besides going down to Samaritan House itself or Photography by Dale, is there anywhere else?  
 
Do those food collection bins at the grocery stores go to them?

Where do you donate besides Dales place on 10th? Is the food bank the place on Pacific at the bottom of 8th street bridge?

I know that they used to accept non perishables which were expired, as long as they were not expired more than 6 months. Is this still true!?  
 

I would also like to know where the drop off points are? Thank you.

From Samaritan House Ministries Facebook page:  
 
"The status at the food bank remains the same friends. We invite you to check your pantries for extra cans of beans, soup, fruit, and packages of rice/pasta, and meat. We also take financial donations. We are open between 8:30am-4:30pm Monday to Friday. Donations can be dropped off at 820 Pacific Avenue. Brandon, Manitoba. You can help Brandon be known as a generous city!"

I would be willing to pick up any donations to take to Samaritan House should anyone need

Today from 12-3 a little girl is having a ice tea sale with proceeds going to Samaritan House, also taking canned donations.  

If anyone wishes to donate food through either Superstore or Sobeys there are bins in the stores. The hours for drop-offs at Sam House are between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. Now that the gardens are maturing donations of extra vegetables are appreciated.
