We Fight Hunger in the North.

The Food Bank Society of the Yukon is a community-driven organization dedicated to providing emergency food to individuals and families in need. Every month, we support up to 2000 people with food hampers, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of individuals, families, schools, churches, businesses, and community organizations that contribute to our mission year-round. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against hunger.

What do We Do?

In Whitehorse: Each month, individuals and families in Whitehorse can access a hamper containing seven days’ worth of food. Hampers are customized based on family size, ensuring everyone has enough to get by.

In Yukon Communities: Across the Yukon, many communities receive monthly shipments of shelf-stable food hampers, each containing approximately seven days’ worth of food. To find out how to get on the distribution list for your community, contact Heather, our Manager of Community Services, at mvcs@whitehorsefoodbank.ca.
