Support When It Matters Most

From volunteer drivers to wheelchair-accessible vans, we help you get where you need to go —reliably and with care.

Foodbank

The Madoc Food Bank offers dignified, pre-booked “shop-style” access to pantry staples, fresh produce, frozen goods, and personal care items for individuals and families in Central Hastings.

Warmly supported by local food partners and generous donors, we prioritize choice, respect, and community connection.

CHSN’s Tax Service offers free, friendly assistance to help eligible individuals and families in Central Hastings file their taxes accurately and on time.

Our volunteers guide you through the process with care and confidentiality, ensuring you get the support and refunds you deserve.
