For over 40 years, The Stop Community Food Centre has worked alongside community members in Toronto to increase access to healthy, culturally appropriate food that maintains dignity, builds health and community, and champions equity. This work spans four interconnected areas: emergency food access, urban agriculture, community building, and community advocacy. In emergency food access, we provide dignified, choice-based food through our drop-in meal programs, food bank, and Good Food Market. Alongside this, our urban agriculture work spans the Green Barn at 601 Christie St., Earlscourt Garden, and other neighbourhood sites, in partnership with local groups, where we grow, tend, and harvest food while sharing knowledge and building skills that participants can carry into their own communities. We also operate The Stop’s Farmers’ Market at Wychwood Barns, a year-round market that provides access to fresh, locally grown food and goods, while supporting local producers and strengthening local food systems and economies.
