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.
Want to raise funds in support of our community? Click here to find out more about our Hamper Hero Virtual Food Drive.
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.
Find your drop off locations here.
Non-perishable food donations can be dropped off at local fire halls or designated bins located in participating grocery drop-off locations.
You can also drop off your donation at our main office and warehouse location at 116 Industry St, weekdays between 9:30am – 3:00pm.

Interested in organizing a food & fund drive: please register here:
Registration gives us an indication of the amount of food and/or funds 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.
Once we receive your registration, a North York Harvest staff will contact you.
Please note that registration must be approved prior to organizing, publicizing or holding the event. North York Harvest respects the privacy of its donors. The information we collect is used to process donations and keep our donors informed about our activities.
If you would like to discuss further or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at support@northyorkharvest.com
*Please ensure that the expiry date has not passed on any donated food items!
All donors are protected by the Ontario Donation of Food Act, 1994 which absolves those who donate in good faith from liability.
