Our new, larger facility has more space and capacity, allowing us to accept and distribute a greater quantity and quality of your food donations to our community food spaces and member agencies. This means more healthy food for your neighbors in need. And don’t worry – just because we’re moving doesn’t mean we are changing our services. We will still be providing food to all our agencies and clients in northern Toronto. A few highlights of the new space include: •A bigger and more organized volunteer food sorting area •Additional food racking to hold your generous food donations •2 proper loading docks, greatly simplify our drop-offs and deliveries. •More space for forklifts, allowing for more efficient sorting and distribution. •A fridge triple the size our old one, and freezer double the size of our old one, allowing us to accept and distribute more of your fresh produce and food donations.
