Food fuels solidarity.
At The Depot, we believe that nourishing food is a right, not a privilege. From fresh groceries to shared gardens, cooking workshops to advocacy, we respond to immediate needs while working toward a future where everyone has access to healthy food and a voice in transforming the systems that shape our communities.
OUR FOOD BANK:THE MARCHÉ DEPOT
The Marché Depot supports community members who are struggling to afford food. At your monthly appointment, you’ll have access to nutritious, culturally diverse food and choose your own items in a welcoming, grocery-store-style space. Households are asked to contribute $5, $7, or $10, depending on what you can afford. If you’re unable to pay or can’t find an appointment when you need one, just speak with a staff member. No one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
