A crisis in our community.
COVID 19 has left many in our community struggling to access food. We are faced with loss of income, unemployment, restricted transportation, and more.
Recognizing that COVID-19 is by no means "over", we focus on particularly hard-hit communities, including QTBIPOC, single parents, sex workers, precariously housed persons, those with medical conditions or disabilities, newly-arrived immigrants, and the elderly.
Over volunteers spread
across the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area and beyond..
We are a volunteer-run, grassroots initiative providing home cooked meals and grocery bundles to those in need. We serve those who are struggling financially or are otherwise unable to provide food for themselves and their families.
