The Renal Food Cupboard is managed and maintained by members of the North West Regional Renal Program at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre โ (๐ท R) Katie Amadeo (Dietitian), (๐ท L) Elizabeth Arbour (Dietitian), Laurenne Stuart (Social Worker) and Marisa Tamasi (Dietitian).

Past donations have largely come from the annual Christmas food drive campaign, organized by the health care/EMS pray chain and donations from Renal Program staff throughout the year. In times of increased need, the Renal Program has partnered with the RFDA Thunder Bay Regional Food Distribution Association to put on a renal food drive at a local grocery store. Recently, the Renal Program has been able to secure donation support from The Kidney Foundation of Canada La Fondation canadienne du rein for this cause. ![]()
