In the Summer of 2011, a new 20,000 square foot central warehouse will allow the food bank to stock close to 2,000 pallets, allowing MADA to meet the ever-increasing demand for our essential services.
Over the last few years we have been able to increase the variety of items offered to our patrons to include perishable and non-perishable foods,
personal hygiene items and cleaning products. This wide range of products reduces the stress on patrons’ budgets and allows them to concentrate on
improving their lives.
In an effort to promote a dignified “shopping” experience and improve meal-planning skills, patrons are encouraged to choose the items they need from a list of available products. We have a full-time team of professional purchasers responsible for acquiring
items at little to no cost through a vast distribution network. This ensures our ability to meet the rising demand for products and services.
Our Food Bank opening hours are Monday 14:00-18:00, Tuesday 10:00-14:00 and Thursday 14:00-18:00.
