The Food Bank of York Region

Communities can’t end hunger alone. At The Food Bank of York Region, we’re working hard to provide essential support to people and families in need every day, but many of the reasons someone may need to turn to us are shaped by policies at all levels of government.

Every food drive makes a difference 💙

Highlight Motor Group has wrapped up their food drive in support of The Food Bank of York Region’s Harvest Hope campaign, helping turn community generosity into meaningful action.

Food drives do more than collect donations. They bring people together around a shared purpose, raise awareness about food insecurity, and help provide essential food to support community organizations across York Region. With more individuals and families facing challenges accessing nutritious food, these initiatives play an important role in keeping our regional food support network strong.

Highlight Motor Group’s participation is a reminder that when businesses and communities take action together, we can make a lasting impact in the fight against hunger.

1,000+ pounds of food. One shared commitment to fighting hunger 💙

Multimatic Manufacturing took part in our Harvest Hope campaign, donating over 1,000+ pounds of food to support The Food Bank of York Region!

Food drives are about more than collecting donations. They bring teams together, inspire community involvement, and help provide essential food to the organizations supporting individuals and families across York Region.

With food insecurity affecting more people in our community, workplace initiatives like this turn collective effort into meaningful action. Every contribution helps strengthen our regional food distribution network and supports the work of getting food where it’s needed most.

We’re grateful to have Multimatic Manufacturing as part of this year’s Harvest Hope campaign!

It’s time to end hunger in York Region 💙

More people need to turn to food banks than ever before, and with the municipal election just around the corner, there’s an opportunity to learn about hunger in our community, ask questions, and encourage local leaders to champion the changes needed to reduce hunger across Ontario.

Working together, we can build a future where no one needs a food bank. Learn more about how different levels of government can help address the root causes of hunger and check out Feed Ontario resources to help you engage local candidates during the election here: https://ow.ly/i3C950ZLf4O

💙 Everyone Deserves Access to Food. Everyone Can Make a Difference.

Access to nutritious food is essential to our well-being, our ability to learn, work, and thrive. Food security is something we can all help build, and creating a stronger, more supported community starts with each of us.

There are many ways to make an impact with The Food Bank of York Region. Whether you volunteer your time, organize a food drive at your workplace or school, or start a peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraiser and invite your friends and family to get involved, every action helps bring our community closer to food security.

You don’t have to do something big to make a meaningful difference. A few hours of volunteering, a box of donated food, or sharing a fundraiser with your network can help support individuals and families across York Region.

💙 Investing in Food Security Means Investing in Our Community.

When children have access to nutritious food, they have greater opportunities to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Through our School Food Pantry Program, The Food Bank of York Region is working to make that possible for more students and families across our region.

We are grateful to receive $550,500 in funding to expand our reach and strengthen our ability to get food where it’s needed most. Thank you to the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Government of Ontario, and Laura Smith, MPP for Thornhill, for supporting this important work. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of people across York Region. 💙

This funding is about more than expanding a program. It’s about creating greater access to nutritious food, supporting families, and helping build a community where everyone can thrive.

We were proud to support CMHA York Region’s Mental Health in Motion Event in September 💙

As participants came together for the walk in support of mental health awareness, The FBYR was happy to donate Gatorade to participants during the walk, helping keep everyone refreshed as they came together to support mental health awareness and community wellness.

A big thank you to the CMHA York Region team, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who participated and helped make the event a success. We’re proud to support initiatives that strengthen our community and help ensure people feel supported and connected.
