Hello LinkedIn 👋 We’re the Community Share Food Bank (CSFB), serving the Don Mills community in Toronto for 20 years. Community Share was founded in response to the growing issue of food insecurity in our community. The need was clear, and our initiative began with a simple yet profound mission: to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. 20 years of alleviating hunger later, our commitment remains as the need grows. CSFB usage has skyrocketed over the past few years, with a 130% increase since 2019. Change is long overdue. To mark our 20th year we will be joining calls for systemic changes that aim at the root causes of hunger: 🌱 Let’s talk the human right to food; food rescue initiatives; and urban gardening. 🤝 Let’s collaborate in advocating on employment for marginalized populations; updated, adequate social supports; and deeply affordable housing - among many other intersecting factors of poverty. 💬 We're eager to contribute to realizing human rights, including food, employment, housing, and health. We’re here to join a caring community and be part of the solutions, together. Follow CSFB on LinkedIn for more fresh updates. Let’s connect and raise our voices! 📣 #communitysharefoodbank #foodbank #foodinsecurity #urbangardening #foodrescue #righttofood #advocacy #socialsupport #affordablehousing #donmills #employment #community #nonprofit

Total full circle moment! We’ve just launched the strategic planning process for the Ottawa Food Bank. The full circle moment: Ayoub (my brother and partner in goodness) and I used to volunteer there growing up! 🥰 Before he was born, our family used to use their services! 🙏🏾❤️ Now, I come home to this newsletter from my community association, inviting me to volunteer in a different way. Like many of the organizations I feel fortunate to work with, I like highlighting their work, so here it is: 🍎 The Ottawa Food Bank is more than just a food supplier; it’s the backbone of a vast network of community partners, including food programs, emergency shelters, community housing, and more. Having worked with a lot of its partners, it feels like I'm seeing another piece of the puzzle which as a systems thinker, I'm so grateful for! 🤤 🍎They support 112 member agencies across the city, ensuring that vulnerable community members have access to nutritious food. Their reach extends far beyond their own walls, leveraging partnerships to amplify impact and address food insecurity on a larger scale so we've employed a process that allows us to capture the input from everyone! 🍎Finally, last fall I was mindblown by their Hunger Report (link in comments). It is one of the best communication tools I've seen. It’s not just a report; it’s an incredibly effective way to communicate the realities of food insecurity in Ottawa. The report captures data, personal stories, and the broader systemic issues, making it a powerful tool to inform, engage, and mobilize the community. It is also visually captivating and has inspired a lot of how I do things. Blessed Thursday! #foodinsecurity #nonprofit #volunteer #community Sayid Consulting Inc.

It's a startling number, made even more concerning by the fact that 1 in 3 Meals on Wheels programs have a waiting list. But there's something you can do to help! By volunteering just one day a month for less than an hour, you can make a real difference in the lives of those struggling with food insecurity. Visit Meals on Wheels America to learn more about the organization and how you can get involved.

Why do you think food relief is a necessary service? Let's answer your question with another, how many households do you think have accessed our branches and Mobile Foodbanks in the 12 days we've operated this year? It's 8,227. These are households facing food stress and going without, but by accessing food relief, they're able to take care of a basic need while maintaining a balanced budget. This is why food relief is a vital service - it's not just about having access to food and groceries, it's about being able to maintain a balanced budget through utilising services like ours. So what a privilege it is to be able to provide food relief to 8,227 families so far this year. #Foodbank #FoodbankWA #FoodRelief #Volunteers #Volunteer #Volunteering #CostOfLiving #CostOfLivingCrisis
