May 2024 – We are proud to announce that we have received accreditation from the Food Banks Canada Standards of Excellence program, the first food bank in Ontario to earn this accredation!

It also offers an opportunity for us to learn and innovate together, challenging the status quo and making a greater collective impact on food insecurity across Canada.
