The Stop Community Food Centre

After a much-needed break, we're back to normal service. Our food bank, takeaway meals, and community advocacy hotline are all open today. Thank you to everyone who supported our work over the holidays, and continue to make it possible!

The Stop's own Cristina Andrade is in The Toronto Star, sharing her experience of 2020 and what she's hoping for in 2021. Many people who lost their jobs, people who never accessed the food banks before, they've been coming to The Stop, she said. I hope that in the new year things do get better for everybody, not just in Canada but for the world that is struggling with food insecurity.

Today's your last day to give good food in 2020! Your support will help The Stop do more than feed our community during COVIDit will help us deliver transformative programs that build skills, confidence, community, and hope as we collectively rebuild.

This can be a tough time of year for everyone. If you're struggling, remember that you're not alone! We've put together a winter zine to connect people to free support servicesincluding our Community Advocacy Office. It's also got tips for easy ways to connect with others, to take care of yourself, to get help, and of course, to have fun during the winter.

From our table to yours: we wish you a very merry Christmas if you celebrate, and a happy new year to all!
