Research
and Advocacy

At North York Harvest, our mission is 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.

North York Harvest is not just a single organization. We are a network made up of community members that access our programs, member agency food banks, staff, students, volunteers, donors, partners and leaders of all kind – and together, we believe in taking action to ensure our community can meet their food needs.

Through focused advocacy, we can use our collective voice to push for the solutions that will most impact our community and that will address the underlying issues that lead people to access emergency food. Working together, we can bring about long-term sustainable change in the city of Toronto.
