North York Harvest Food Bank is the primary food bank for northern Toronto, distributing over 2.3 million pounds of food in last year through 77 community programs. Their programs target the immediate food needs of individuals and families in northern Toronto by supplying food and providing training and support to a large network of member agencies.

“We need an economy that works for everyone, and that has to include access to fair wages, non-precarious employment and paid sick days. As a food bank we know that lack of decent work is a key driver of poverty and food insecurity in our city. North York Harvest is committed to being a decent work employer and to advocating for it across our communities.” Ryan Noble, Executive Director, North York Harvest Food Bank
