Who WE are

Welcome to Second Mile Foodbank - A Beacon of Hope

Mission Statement
"Our purpose is to serve Jesus by serving people."

At Second Mile, we are more than just a foodbank; we are a community-driven organization dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives we touch.  We are a non-profit organization that supplies food to those in need; operated by a volunteer Board of Directors and is supported by four part-time staff members and many volunteers.

With a humble beginning over three decades ago, our journey began with just two cans of soup and $5.00, fueled by a deep commitment to serve those in need. Today, we continue to be a beacon of hope, serving the communities of Dieppe and parts of Moncton with unwavering dedication.

• Our Guiding Principle: Faith in Action

Founded on Christian values, Second Mile finds its purpose in the service of Jesus Christ. Our commitment to love, compassion, and empathy drives every aspect of our work. Our food bank services aim to bring positivity, dignity, and comfort to individuals and families facing challenges. Every act of service is an expression of our faith in action, reflecting the teachings of Jesus.

• Independent and Community-Centric

We proudly stand as an independent foodbank. This independence enables us to tailor our services to the unique needs of our local communities. Our volunteers and supporters come together to form a strong network of individuals who believe in the power of collective action. Through collaboration and a shared purpose, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

• Our Commitment: Beyond Food

While providing nourishment through food is at the heart of what we do, our impact extends beyond mere sustenance. We aim to foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity, cultivating an environment where individuals can find solace, support, and a renewed sense of hope. Through workshops, events, and initiatives, we empower individuals to build a brighter future.

Whether you are in a position to volunteer your time, contribute resources, or simply spread the word about our mission, we invite you to join us on this incredible journey of compassion and service. Together, we can continue to uplift lives and build a community where everyone is valued, supported, and cared for.
