Get Involved

We would love for you to join us on this mission of
providing our neighbours with care and support!

Did you know 1 in 5 Torontonians
experience food insecurity?

In partnership with Scott Mission, we can help solve that.

OUR VISION.

OUR IMPACT.

Together, we can help fulfill God’s work of renewal
and radically transform lives.

Rising costs of food and rent are
forcing many to choose hunger. 

They don’t have to make that
horrible choice anymore.

Jesus calls us to be
compassionate neighbours.

We can work together to share
hope and the love of Jesus. 

Clients near Bayview Glen travel up to
five hours to receive groceries from a
Scott Mission food bank.

We can help ease their burden.
