Every delivery you make will have a meaningful impact on children and schools in Scarborough.
On Wednesdays, our warehouse transforms into an assembly line to welcome a group of 10 volunteers to pack 100+ bags of food for students with healthy and nutritious meals to have on the weekends. Food4Kids Toronto welcomes groups from Corporations, Sports Teams, Schools, Government agencies and Families looking to give back to the community and have an opportunity for team building. Our packs usually begin at 4pm and can finish in 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the number of volunteers at each pack. Food4Kids Toronto warehouse is located in Markham, Ontario at Denison Street and Warden Avenue. Volunteers are requested to dress comfortably and wear closed toe shoes. Should children under the age of 12 come to a pack they should be accompanied with a parent or guardian.
Be a leader and organize a food drive among your family, friends, team and colleagues. All the items donated will be used for our packs and given to the students. We will provide a list of the non-perishable food products we provide in weekend meals. Food4Kids Toronto can assist with pick-up or accommodate drop off at our warehouse. Food Drives make a great alternative to receiving birthday, house warming or annual gifts.
Assisting Food4Kids Toronto Committee Members and Coordinators with Canvassing and Fundraising events as they move from ideas to plans. This is a remote volunteer opportunity where you can work on your own time.
