Mission Statement
Our mission is to enhance the well-being of Moss Park residents by increasing access to fresh food and fostering inclusive spaces that nurture connection, peer-led learning, advocacy and sustainable self-empowerment.
About This Cause
Building Roots is a Toronto-based nonprofit working to build a more just and inclusive food system in one of the city’s most underserved neighbourhoods, Moss Park. Each week, we support hundreds of people—including newcomers, seniors, families, unhoused individuals, and others facing food insecurity and isolation—through our give-what-you-can fresh food market, free meal and snack programs, and vital wraparound supports like harm reduction, resource navigation, and community care. Our work goes beyond food relief. We take a systems-change approach that addresses the root causes of inequity by nurturing local leadership, offering peer-led workshops, fostering social connection to reduce loneliness and improve well-being, and transforming public space through our low-barrier, accessible community garden and inclusive programming. We believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food, dignity, and a sense of belonging. When you support Building Roots, you’re helping to create a healthier, more equitable future—one rooted in compassion, community, and lasting change.
