About us

It started with neighbours helping neighbours.

In 2022, during COVID, we began bringing food from supermarket chains to families who needed it. Today, more than 200 families are part of GHCD.

Mission

Why we exist

To give children and families in Toronto and Markham food, warmth and belonging, so that every child is free to dream.

Vision

Where we're going

A GTA where no family faces hunger alone, and where every newcomer child feels at home.
