FOOD ACCESS AND SECURITY
Food is necessary for life. In a country like ours no one should
go hungry. We understand that there are many reasons why people
are hungry. While being part of coalitions that try to make food
security an issue at governmental levels, we also look to addressing
people's immediate needs.
We:
- Operate a drop-in that feeds on average 150 people daily with
a freshly cooked lunch. A light breakfast with coffee is also
available.
- Oversee the running of three (3) community gardens in Regent
Park where people can grow their own food.
- Operate a volunteer-driven weekly fruit and vegetable market
from April to November.
- Operate a food delivery service that provides cheaper produce to local
agencies with food programs.
- Operate a small catering business (Sunshine Multicultural Catering)
that serves agencies and social functions in the area.
