Supporting Nutrition in Flamborough

March is Nutrition Month in Canada and what better way to celebrate than with some of the great community services that support nutrition in Flamborough!

Flamborough Shops is an affordable grocery shopping and delivery service for those who are unable to shop for themselves, offered by Flamborough Connects. This program is perfect for people with mobility issues or disabilities that limit them in grocery shopping, seniors who live alone and don’t drive, or those who are at a high risk for COVID-19. Flamborough Shops is available to residents of Flamborough, including Waterdown, Carlisle, Freelton, Milgrove, Lynden, Greensville, Rockton or other rural areas of Flamborough.

Connect with us for more information about Flamborough Shops or to register. Call us at 905-689-7880, email admin@flamboroughconnects.ca or visit us at flamboroughconnects.ca/flamborough-shops. A small delivery fee applies.
