Our services are for youth 13-25

Our Food Bank provides vulnerable youth ages 13-25 with access to free groceries, clothing, hygiene products, baby supplies and resource connections. Each year we distribute more than 60,000 pounds of food to 1,280 youth and their children.

The Living Rock Food Bank (Stacey's Place) is the only youth-focused food bank in all of Hamilton and is the first point of contact for many youth and their families. As a part of the mission of the food bank, not only are the needs of youth met surrounding food and clothing, connections are also made to other community resources.

Living Rock offers community services, such as: free daily meals, educational, recreational as well as life-skill  and employment programs. Our programs aim to address the root causes poverty by reducing barriers and helping youth to realize and recognize their strengths, increase social supports and make connections with needed resources. This entry point is often the beginning of forming trusting relationships for youth with members of the food bank team that leads to building foundations to help youth-at-risk securely grow.
