The Hygiene and Food Pantry began in February 2012 and continues the Christian tradition of providing much-needed food and hygiene products to those less fortunate.  It is open to everyone, regardless of religious faith or background, serving anyone in need who lives in Welland. 

The Food Pantry provides the basic essentials of food for individuals and families. The hygiene section is the only fully-stocked source of hygiene items in the City of Welland. All who come through our doors will find everything from laundry detergent, baby care items, soap, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, and other essentials.  Clients choose according to their needs, granting them dignity and self-respect.  

The Pantry is open every Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am, and is supported through the generosity of the parishioners of Holy Trinity and caring community members, including being run solely by volunteers. All donations go directly to assisting those in need.

The demand for both hygiene and food products has increased, as has the number of clients. We are seeing increasing numbers of seniors reaching out for assistance. Many families new to Canada, either immigrants or refugees, come through our doors for help, often with young children and grandparents.
