COVID19 Update: OSHaRE is serving meals Monday to Saturday from 12:00pm-1:30pm and Monday to Friday 4:30pm to 5:30pm. All meals are served to go and are prepackaged for pick up. Since the beginning of the pandemic we have seen a 300% increase in the number of meals we are serving. We are so thankful for our amazing volunteers, community partners, staff, donors and the whole community for helping us to meet this increased demand. Thank you for helping us to share at OSHaRE.
Owen Sound Hunger and Relief Effort (OSHaRE) is excited to announce that we have moved our location, so that we can improve our services – with respect to the meals we are able to prepare, provide opportunities to develop partnerships for services that will be of benefit to our guests, and improve storage for dealing with large donations of fresh produce and perishable items. We are now located at 946 3rd Ave East, in
Owen Sound.
OSHaRE has been successfully aiding our community for over six years. During those years, OSHaRE has served over 100,000 meals, through the generous donations of people, businesses and other organizations; as well as the hard work of our amazing volunteers.
In 2017, in partnership with the Grey Bruce Health Unit, a review of OSHaRE’s operations was undertaken. That report identified a number of improvements and new initiatives that OSHaRE could undertake to better serve those who depend upon our services. We believe that it is important for OSHaRE to undertake some of these new initiatives.
Our new location is at 946 3rd Avenue, East, in downtown Owen Sound. In this location, OSHaRE has industrial-grade cooking equipment along with a walk in cooler and freezer. We have additional space to develop services and partnerships with other community organizations. We believe that these improvements will help us to serve our guests better.
