Home Delivery
Delivery Service
We provide a home delivery service for Richmond residents who are unable to collect food for themselves due to long-term disability, injury, or illness. Recipients receive 2-3 days worth of groceries, including bread and fresh produce. Please note that dairy items and perishable protein are not included in home delivery hampers.
While anyone living in Richmond going through financial difficulty is eligible for grocery assistance, we require a professional referral from a doctor, nurse practitioner, or social worker to access our home delivery program.
Please email us at info@rfbs.org to request an application form for the home delivery program.
- Must be a registered food bank client. Your file must be up to date and include a contact phone number.
- Must be medically homebound, with written confirmation from a doctor or social worker. Once the duration of the letter has expired, a new confirmation from a doctor or social worker will be required or delivery service will be suspended.
- Must not have a proxy available to assist with pick up. If a family member or social worker is available to pick up on your behalf, please arrange to have them pick up your groceries on your behalf.
Grocery Pick Up
If you need food and you cannot come to the Richmond Food Bank yourself:
- Try to have a family or household member pick up for you. If you are picking up food for someone else, bring their official ID (or letter of permission along with another identifying document) with you when you visit the food bank.
- If you cannot arrange for someone to pick up your food, call us at 604-271-5609 (Monday-Friday 9am-4pm) to discuss options.
