North York Harvest Food Bank

Category:

The North York Harvest Food Bank's mission is to feed those in need and work to reduce hunger.

An independent, non-profit organization, we collect, sort and distribute over 1 million pounds of food annually to a network of 60 community programs. Located throughout our catchment area, these programs include conventional food banks, prenatal and early parenting programs, drop-in centres and shelters, and meal and snack programs. Our member agencies include social service agencies, community health centres, faith-based institutions, and volunteer-run organizations.

In addition to our warehousing and distribution operations, we coordinate a youth engagement initiative, community garden activities, free pick-your-own gleaning trips, and a neighbourhood resource centre.
