Thank you to Roaa, our Community Navigator, who was in the food bank helping our clients sign up to vote by mail for the June 2 Provincial Election!
This June we are featuring Ontario-grown bok choy as our Local Food of the Month! 🥬 We are proud to buy local when we can to support Ontario’s farmers and reduce our carbon footprint.
What has long been a crisis is transforming into a national catastrophe. Food banks cannot solve this problem. We need policy actions, at all levels of government, now. cbc.ca/news/business/…
"We’ve been pressuring the government for more than a decade to double ODSP. What can people do with (a) five per cent (increase)? It’s not enough," said @TorontoACORN downtown chapter co-chair Alejandro Gonzalez-Rendon. @DailyBreadTO @ZeroGunViolence torstar.co/LGJT50Jrnp4
A big thank you to Team Compton for supporting our community and donating 1234lbs of food from your annual food drive!
As National Volunteer Week comes to an end, we would like to make one last post for our exiting volunteers. Thank you so much to Lorraine and Diane for over 10 years of dedicated, hard work with us. We wish them all the best in their retirement!
Today we will be continuing our National Volunteer Week celebrations with a post for our experienced volunteers. Pictured is Jiang, who contributed over 400 hours volunteering at CSFB last year! We’re sending a big thank you to Jiang and to all of our experienced volunteers. 💜
Today is #StopFoodWasteDay! In solidarity with @SecondHarvestCA, we are composting to prevent food waste. Using our composter from @FoodShareTO, food waste is turned into fertilizer for produce in our community garden, which is given to participants. Truly a closed loop system!
April 24-30 is National Volunteer Week. We’re starting it off by celebrating our new volunteers! 👥Thank you to Judy and Matt for putting empathy into action with your work at CSFB.
Today is #EarthDay, a great opportunity to reflect on preserving the health of our planet. 🌎 CSFB is proud of the sustainable practices we have incorporated into our operations, from our Local Food Program to our compost box to accepting rescued surplus food from our partners.
Did you know Canada's food industry wastes 96% of surplus edible food instead of sharing it with people who need it? Learn More: secondharvest.ca/resources/rese…
Canadian grocery shoppers paid 8.7% more for food purchased from stores on a year-over-year basis in March.

When poverty is a policy choice, there can also be poverty solutions. Read about the contradictions in our social assistance system at: thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
🌿Volunteers wanted for growing season!🌿 To learn more and apply, contact our volunteer program assistant Ella Lightstone at [email protected] ASAP! We will look to place volunteers in late April & early May!
We would like to thank @foodbankscanada for supporting CSFB with a grant this past winter, with funding through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Emergency Food Security Fund. Your generosity has allowed us to increase the amount of food we give to our participants.
