The food bag delivery program began as a response to the Covid-19 epidemic. There are many folks in the area who are in vulnerable conditions that make coming to the market unsafe or inaccessible. We found that as we moved on from the peak of the pandemic, there were those who still heavily relied on the food deliveries and could not make it to our market. As such, we made the decision that it was important to continue this no cost service on an ongoing basis.
In 2023, we delivered over 3,000 food bags door-to-door to housebound residents in TCHC buildings nearby, as well as folks in the St. James Town through Community Matters Toronto and Toronto Council Fire.
