FEED THE HOMELESS

Transforming Lives on the Streets of Ontario
FEED A HOMELESS FOR $20

About the Program: Feeding the Homeless

  • In the vast expanse of Ontario, a heartbreaking reality unfolds—235,000 individuals find themselves without a home, caught in the grip of poverty, domestic violence, or unemployment. Homelessness knows no boundaries; it can afflict anyone, regardless of age. Shockingly, our surveys reveal that 39% experienced homelessness as adults, while 27% were youth, 6.5% were older seniors, and 6% endured this plight during their childhood. It is this alarming truth that sparked the inception of our program, "Feed the Homeless."

Our Impact: Extending a Helping Hand

  • Today, we stand proud, having touched the lives of over 4,000 homeless individuals through our program. Guided by unwavering dedication, our team of compassionate volunteers takes to the streets, rain or shine, to provide sustenance and support to over 500 homeless individuals every weekend—offering a glimmer of hope during their darkest hours.

What sets us apart

  • Food for the Homeless: Nourishing Body and Soul
    At the heart of our initiative lies a commitment to ensuring the delivery of fresh, nourishing food to those in need. Equipped with refrigerated vans and trucks, we prioritize food safety, maintaining suitable temperatures for both perishable and non-perishable items. This ensures that every morsel that reaches our recipients is of the utmost quality.
  • Strategic Locations: Reaching Those in Need
    Our food stations are strategically positioned across six cities—Toronto, Brampton, Guelph, Cambridge, Hamilton and Brantford. These vital hubs serve as beacons of hope, providing a lifeline to those grappling with homelessness, connecting them with essential reso urces and compassionate support.
  • Inside Each Food Package: A Balanced Selection
    Within our carefully curated food packages, recipients discover an assortment of 6-8 essential items. From wholesome muffins and nutrition bars to fresh fruits that bring a burst of vitality, from snack packs and crackers to comforting cookies, we aim to offer a balanced and nutritious selection. Alongside these provisions, we include yogurt, drinks, and cooked meals—providing not just sustenance but also a sense of warmth and care. Not only food but we provide them hygiene products such as, dental, intimate, body along with the sleeping bags to combat harsh Canadian winters.
