Food Hub

For Families:

We currently have over 400 families registered at Raphael House. If you are on our service list, please ensure you respond to our email to confirm your grocery spot.

Send us an email if you are in need of our Food Hub program, and we will go through the registration process.

How it works:

Tuesdays - 12:30pm - 1:30pm

Wednesdays - 10am - 1pm

Thursdays - 5pm - 6:30pm

Raphael House operates a weekly Food Hub for families within Langley and School District 35. Roughly 50% of our items are donated, while the remaining 50% is purchased directly from a wholesale and retail supplier. Families can come and access free, healthy groceries at an assigned time and day. Some examples of items that can be received are fresh vegetables, milk, eggs, cheese, bread, diapers, and more.

Frequently

Asked

Questions

  • Families living in Langley and School District 35 with children under 18 are eligible. Contact us if you would like to register!

  • We contact eligible families each month and confirm their assigned time slot. Every month, the time shifts forward by 15 minutes.

  • If families do not come for 2 weeks in a row without communicating, they will be released from eligibility, but can be put back on a wait list if requested. Please let us know ASAP if anything prevents you from attending your time slot.

  • If a family moves outside of Langley, or if their youngest child turns 18, families are no longer able to access the Food Hub.

  • Weekly groceries vary, but you can expect a mix of dried goods, fresh produce, perishable products like dairy and meat, along with other cooking staples. Infant products can be available if needed.

  • We try to keep kosher/halal/vegetarian options in stock as much as possible; however, with the very high cost in meat these days, supplies are limited.

  • Parking is available along Douglas Crescent and surrounding streets, or at Douglas Park. Parking is not available in Fuller Lane or at the Alano Club next door.
