Wednesday, August 9, 2017, marked the grand reopening of the Vaughan Food Bank, a new location for a bright future. The Vaughan Food Bank originally opened 1995 and since then has been a pillar of the community, doing their part to help needy families in the area. They are now located at 5732 Hwy 7, Units 3-4. The new facility is much larger, which will help them to serve the Vaughan community more efficiently. They now have a larger waiting room, registration office, and shopping area. As well, the receiving, storage and sorting areas will greatly improve collection of food donations because there is more space to store, organize and categorize items. The Community Legal Clinic of York Region will still be partnered with the Vaughan Food Bank and have a more private and confidential office on the upper floor.
