Commemorating 40 years of community care
Comments Off on Commemorating 40 years of community care
On Friday August 8th, we celebrated our 40th anniversary by opening the doors to our soon-to-be home at 4050 Chesswood Drive!
Throughout the day, 1000 attendees showed up to tour the space and reflect on what four decades of community care has meant for North York.
We were delighted to welcome past and present staff and volunteers, community partners, and donors who have each contributed to transforming North York Harvest into what it is today.
Guests followed a timeline of our progress from the moment they walked in, with photos and milestones capturing four decades of food served, voices heard, dignity preserved, jobs created, connections forged, and real change fought for every single day.
North York Harvest Food Bank would not be possible without the generosity, passion, and dedication of our community.
We thank everyone who joined us to commemorate our past and look to the future at our most transformative chapter yet: A Community Food Hub that will reimagine what a food bank can be, and redefine how we fight food insecurity.
But we can’t do it alone. That’s why we recently launched a bold $6-million capital campaign that will turn an empty warehouse into a vibrant hub of food distribution, workforce development, and social enterprise.
Support this campaign to help create real, lasting change that will be felt for generations.
