You can ensure your neighbours don’t go hungry.

Too many people in the GTA can’t afford their next meal.

As food prices skyrocket and supply chain issues leave grocery store shelves bare, you can help fight hunger in your neighbourhood by supporting the YMCA and our food security programs.

"I would have never thought in my lifetime that I would be in this situation. The pandemic has brought on challenges for my family that have really tested our mental stability. I lost my job and if it wasn't for the support of the YMCA Food Bank, my family would go hungry each week. Thank you for providing some steadiness to my family during uncertain times."

Your support can help the Y continue our vital food security programming, including:
  • Three permanent food banks

  • Eight pop-up food pantries

  • … And more!
Thousands of your neighbours depend on YMCA Food Banks — which means they also depend on donors like you, whose gifts help us keep these programs running.
