“People ask me: “Why do you write about food, and eating, and drinking? Why don’t you write about the struggle for power and security, and about love, the way the others do?”… The easiest answer is to say that, like most other humans, I am hungry.”
M. F. K. Fisher in The Gastronomical Me (1937)
Welcome to Your Community Food Calendar
To help you find places where food and hot meals are available, we have carefully created this calendar that include information on local food banks, meal programs, and other community services that exist to support you. We understand everyone’s journey is different and that sometimes a little extra help can make a big difference. Those resources are there to remind you that you are not alone. Your community will always have a place at the table for you.
This calendar includes Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) and Victoria County. Scroll down to view or download the full PDF.
Did you know?
The Cape Breton Regional Library has 3 community cupboards stocked with free food and essential items. These cupboards are supported by provincial funding and community donations, and you can help keep them full! For more information on CBRL’s community cupboards, click here.

We do our best to keep the calendar up to date, but there may be occasional changes we miss. Thanks for your understanding!
