Quick Facts

The Parkdale Community Food Bank is a grass roots organization, founded by volunteers in November 2007, after the threatened closure of the 25 year old Saint Phillips Pantry. At that time, Parkdale's only food bank was at risk of disappearing.

Located on Queen Street West in the heart of Parkdale, its philosophy reflects a strong commitment to a client-based model, where respect, inclusion and dignity of the members is the first priority. The food bank uses a shopping system, as opposed to the more common hamper system to maximize selection and respect member's various dietary needs.
