House of Lazarus relies mainly on the generous donations of our community, local businesses and grocery stores to keep our shelves full at the Mountain Food Bank and Ingleside Food Cupboard. Giving food helps to keep the members of our community fed, because no one should have to worry about going to bed hungry.
Where to Donate
You can drop off your food directly at the Mountain Food Bank during our open hours. Food is also accepted at the Ingleside Food Cupboard during open hours. There is a food donation drop-off bin at the front of the Kemptville Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer location. If you are donating perishable food, please ensure we are open and able to accept the food in order for us to refrigerate or freeze the food as necessary.
