EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAM

Good Shepherd Venture Centre
155 Cannon Street East
Hamilton ON L8L 2A6

Director: Michael Troskot


The Good Shepherd Venture Centre is modeled after a traditional grocery store where emergency food and clothing are easily accessible for clients. Unlike most emergency food programs, visitors choose what they want from our Marketplace. With the help of staff and volunteers, they push a grocery cart and shop the aisles for food, clothing and personal items.

If you have questions about the food & clothing program, please call us at 905.972.9485. All new registrations must sign up in person. Registration hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.- 2:00 p.m. *Please bring I.D. for all household members with proof of address when you register in person.

Grocery and program hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 3:00 pm. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.
