About North York Harvest Food Bank

Since 1985, North York Harvest Food Bank has been the primary food bank in northern Toronto, now seeing around 30,000 visits a month. We operate four community food spaces and provide direct delivery to over 200 food programs across Ontario to help our community.

North York Harvest Food Bank nourishes more than bodies—it nurtures hope and belonging.

At the heart of our mission is a client-centered approach that prioritizes dignity, fosters strong partnerships, and strengthens community connections. Guided by our core values and a commitment to continuous learning, we address the root causes of food insecurity—poverty, systemic racism, and other forms of oppression. 

Together with our community, we are creating a future where everyone can meet their food needs in a way that is dignified and equitable.

Mission: To engage our community in meeting the food needs of northern Toronto by providing dignified food assistance, education, focused advocacy and long-term food solutions. 

Vision: A community where all members are able to meet their food needs.
