PROCUREMENT 

Procurement is centralized and coordinated at FeedHalton to source and secure food and products in large volumes and create purchasing power. In-kind donation arrangements are also pursued with the goal of reaching as many end-clients of the Agency Network partners as possible. 

INTAKE & STORAGE 

FeedHalton operates an 11,000 square foot warehouse in the east end of Burlington close to major highways. Our footprint and location have been designed to manage deliveries of large loads and high numbers of product pallets through three docks, one of which is a drive-in. The warehouse is outfitted with industrial refrigeration and freezers as well as extensive racking. Our operations team, equipment and technology can manage the intake of volume deliveries from storage to sorting to shipment out to the Agency Network. 

SORTING & PACKING 

FeedHalton relies on a team of consistent volunteers to help with sorting of all products and getting those packed and ready for delivery to the Agency Network partners. Sorting and packing all items is consistent with Food Banks of Canada and FeedOntario guidelines. 

SHIPPING & DELIVERY 

FeedHalton operates a distribution truck throughout Halton and has also coordinated a partnership with Food for Life to leverage their extensive transportation fleet that already has routes throughout Halton. Shipping and distribution are managed centrally through FeedHalton including weekly scheduling to service the needs of the Agency Network.
