It's Team LHSC's annual Spring Food Drive from April 7 to April 24.
Don’t miss your chance to help! Donate food by April 24.
Our community can continue to generously support families and individuals facing financial hardship in our community by contributing to LHSC’s annual Spring Food Drive in support of the London Food Bank.
April 7 marks the start of the drive, which runs until Friday, April 24.

What food items should you donate?
The London Food Bank encourages donations of nutritious non-perishable food items. Below is a list of some of the most needed items:
- Canned vegetables & fruit (no sugar added)
- Canned tomatoes (no salt added)
- Canned tuna and salmon
- Peanut butter
- Special-diet foods (gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.)
- Dried vegetables (lentils, chick peas, legumes, etc.)

How else to help
While the London Food Bank also accepts perishable food, these items must be dropped off directly to one of their locations during operating hours. LHSC is unable to accept perishable items.
For those unable to contribute a non-perishable food item, please consider making a monetary donation directly to the London Food Bank using LHSC’s online donation form.
Thank you for your support. Contributions by generous people like you help provide nutritious food to those in need.
