Donate Food

Give Food and Hope!

Thank you for your interest in supporting the North York Harvest Community during these challenging times.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are no longer able to pick up food from community food drives.

Food Drive Registration:

Since the start of this pandemic, we had to shift our operation to ensure the safety of all our stakeholders. While we continue to accept food donation drop-offs (see below), we no longer deliver bins or pick up community food drives in the foreseeable future.

Wondering what you should donate?

Please see our list of urgently needed food items.

Food Drop Off Locations:

Non-perishable food donations can be dropped off at local fire halls, designated bins located in participating grocery drop-off locations.

Find your drop off locations here.

You can also drop off your donation at our main office and warehouse location at 116 Industry St, weekdays 10:00am – 3:00pm.

Register Your Food Drive: 

Registration gives us an indication of the amount of food that will be coming in from the community so we can shift resources as necessary;  and it allows us to acknowledge the work of organizations and people like you, making a difference in our community.

Interested in organizing a food drive or donating food, please register here:
