1 in 8 households in Canada are considered food insecure. This amounts to about 4 million Canadians, including 1.15 million children, that struggle to place food on the table each day. ​
Our mission is to assist our community and partners, share food and heat resources, and create opportunities to help those living in poverty. ​

2024 HOLIDAY SEASON!

All of our holiday resources in one place! From Holiday Hampers & Gifts for Kids to our holiday giving programs. Updated weekly.
