FoodShare is a food justice organization, advocating for the right to food, and working to challenge the systemic barriers that keep people from accessing the food they need to thrive. We support communityled food initiatives and work alongside communities most affected by poverty and food insecurity: Black and Indigenous people, people of colour, people with disabilities, and folks living on a low income. Whether it is supporting urban farms, subsidizing local produce markets or coordinating community kitchens, all of our work is about folks accessing food on their own terms.
Vision: A Toronto where all people can feed themselves, their loved ones and their communities with dignity and joy.
Mission: We advocate for food justice by supporting community-based food initiatives and through ongoing advocacy and public education.
