Cumberland Food Share

The Food Share includes a Food Shed and bi-weekly deliveries of Healthy Food Boxes to Cumberland residents experiencing food insecurity. Established in April 2020, the goal is to ensure that all residents have access to healthy food right here in our Village. Weird Church built and maintains the Food Shed, while CCSS coordinates and fundraises for the delivery of Healthy Food Boxes.

If you need help:

2. Stop by the Food Shed at 2688 Penrith Avenue and take home a few items.
3. To register for Farmers’ Market Coupons, please fill out our FMNCP REGISTRATION FORM

2. Donate non-perishable goods to the Food Shed. Drop off food items in the shed at 2688 Penrith Ave. Please do not drop off expired or opened food.
