We offer a variety of services, from food distribution to nutrition education, in order to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy lifestyle. We embrace our similarities and differences alike to reinforce the strength of our impact.

Did You Know...

Nearly five million people in Canada – that’s one out of every seven individuals – currently live in poverty?

Poverty is a widespread issue across the country and the world, but vulnerable groups such as people living with disabilities, single parents, elderly individuals, youth, and racialized communities are more susceptible.
