Our Food Programs have consequently grown dramatically to meet the persistent needs around food access and food security, particularly salient in Toronto’s Downtown East. Beyond the Tuesday night dinner and Friday morning breakfast programs offered at 58 Sumach Street, we now serve meals and provide food hampers 5 days a week, in an effort to keep up to the growing needs of the communities located in Toronto’s Downtown East. We remain vigilant in our efforts to meet the food security needs of the communities in our direct neighbourhoods of service. Through ongoing innovation and foresight, these programs will continue to grow and shift to meet the needs of the communities we serve. Food Services programming demonstrates how income disparity and access to the social determinants of health is falling short of meeting the needs of far too many in our city. Moving forward, strategic lobbying and real time data will help us reinforce the needs of these communities, and help us focus our efforts at building coalitions to collaboratively tackle the income disparities that lead to the gaps in access to the simple and critical pleasures and necessities of food. Volunteers and peers help prepare and serve food to participants. Visit our Volunteer Department  page to learn about volunteer opportunities.
