October 2026 distribution

Registration is open

SALDAC has 15 registration spots for this distribution, so up to 15 individuals or households from our community can take part. Food choices depend on what is in stock, so register early for the widest choice.

How to register: three steps

  1. Register with BLFA

    Open the Black Food Hub registration. Choose "This is my first time", even if BLFA has helped you before: everyone completes a first intake on the new platform to get a BLFA Client ID.

    If you are filling this in for someone else, tick "I am filling this in on behalf of a family" and name SALDAC as the referring partner.

  2. Get your BLFA Client ID

    When the intake form is done, you'll receive your own BLFA Client ID. You need it to use BLFA programs and services.

  3. Request your food hamper

    Choose Nourishing Futures – Food Assistance 4 All and send your October food hamper request using your BLFA Client ID.

Important: registering with BLFA does not request a hamper by itself. Finish all three steps so BLFA receives your request.
