Every Sunday, the Food Not Bombs Toronto Chapter has been gathering at Allan Gardens to distribute bags of groceries and meals to those affected by poverty and homelessness. Food is sourced from donations or purchased with money donated by donors and supporters. Food Not Bombs diverts good produce from going to waste, reclaim food, and finds new purpose in creating nourishing meals for the community. Food is distributed for free. If a community member wants food, they can simply walk up and receive the food they need. There is no registration or eligibility requirement.
Indeed, such an act of kindness and generosity reflects the true sense of their mission. Food Not Bombs not only helps the community in the downtown core address food insecurity, but they also advocate against war, violence, and poverty. They serve anyone who is in need, and many depends on their weekly support to get through the week.
If you are looking for a grassroot organization known for its accountability, direct impact, and integrity, the Toronto Food Not Bombs is one of them. You can donate gifts of bulk vegetables, fruits, milk, and other grocery items. They also need strong shopping bags for packaging groceries. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated as this will help them to purchase other items needed by the community.
