Get a New Truck!

Meet Dougie!

Thanks to our wonderful supporters we were able to purchase a new truck which translates to more food in and more food out. Our new truck allows us to drop off multiple skids of food at a time to emergency food providers.

Did you know that Dougie travels 575 km a week, across Durham Region? Check out all his stops on our interactive map!

Double the size of our fridge and freezer!

By DOUBLING the size of our fridge and freezer we are able to distribute more fresh and frozen food.

FRESH AND FROZEN FOOD DISTRIBUTION IMPACT

What We Distribute

DOUBLE the size of our warehouse!

Safety first, always. In response to the COVID19 pandemic, we now have two separate warehouses. They are 10,000 sq. ft each for physical distancing while allowing us to collect even MORE food!

We could not have done any of this without YOU! Thank you for helping us make a difference in our community. 🧡
