Pledge to make a difference, together.
The North York Harvest Food Bank is the second-largest food bank in Toronto, distributing 1.8 million pounds of food last year through 60 neighbourhood programs. An independent, charitable organization, we envision a community where all members are able to meet their food needs.
In 2009, more than 160,000 food hampers were provided to people living in northern Toronto through our member agency network of neighbourhood food banks, programs for expecting mothers and new parents, shelters for women and youth, and community kitchens. 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 farm trips, and a neighbourhood resource centre.
Fundraising for an organization will help them help the world.
