Did you know that the majority of families facing food insecurity are not served by food banks due to stigma and other barriers? Hand Up Toronto helps overcome these barriers by delivering and distributing nutritious food to low income families in Toronto. Research shows that adequate nutrition significantly improves children’s mental health, academic performance, and long-term wellbeing.

Twice a month on a Saturday morning we distribute hampers out of the Scadding Court Community Centre in downtown Toronto to registered families. The hampers alternate between fresh produce (sourced by our nonprofit supplier FoodShare) and nutrient-dense non-perishables of rice, pasta, grains and beans (sourced by our other nonprofit supplier GlobalMedic). Scadding Court is a full-service community centre that does not house a foodbank, and serves clients of all walks of life: an ideal place for low-income families to pick up hampers in a dignified and stigma-free environment.

Volunteers will work with the Dispatch Manager to move boxes from the delivery truck into the community centre and give boxes out to families who come to pick-up. Ideal volunteers are friendly, reliable, and comfortable greeting and helping families and all other volunteers.

Volunteers who speak a second language are especially welcome! In the Scadding Court neighbourhood we have clients who speak Cantonese and Mandarin so volunteers who can help with translation are greeted warmly by clients.

Please note: you must be able to handle a two-wheeled dolly and push/pull a wagon with 50lbs on it up a ramp. Volunteers will be moving inside and outside the community centre so please dress accordingly and bring water. Event will take place rain or shine.

All shifts can be found here: https://www.handuptoronto.org/signup and you can sign up for any number of shifts - the commitment is flexible.

Any questions? Please reach out to our volunteer team: volunteer@handuptoronto.org

Research shows that adequate nutrition significantly improves children’s mental health, academic performance, and long-term wellbeing.

Twice a month on a Saturday morning we deliver hampers to registered families in priority (higher needs) neighbourhoods in Toronto (postal codes starting M4 and M6). The hampers alternate between fresh produce (sourced by our nonprofit supplier FoodShare) and nutrient-dense non-perishables of rice, pasta, grains and beans (sourced by our other nonprofit supplier GlobalMedic).

Volunteers meet us at our supplier warehouses (GlobalMedic is located 35 Coronet Rd, Etobicoke and FoodShare is located at 120 Industry St in North York). Note: we don’t rent any warehouse space to keep our costs down.

Loading volunteers will work with the Dispatch Coordinator and other volunteers to move and load boxes into the cars of the volunteer drivers who come to pick-up hampers for their delivery. These events take place rain or shine: volunteers will be moving inside and outside so please dress accordingly and bring water.

Volunteers should be able to lift up to 20 lbs of weight and be able to work as part of a small team, helping drivers load their cars and send them on their way. Volunteers should be friendly and reliable.

This role is a great way to kickstart your weekend with an hour or so of simple but important support. Great for high school students looking to earn their volunteer hours and ideal for those residing in Toronto's west end or Etobicoke.
