Our Mission
The Stop strives to increase access to healthy food in a manner that maintains dignity, builds health and community, and challenges inequality.
About Us
For 40 years, The Stop Community Food Centre has been at the forefront of dignified, innovative programs that provide access to healthy food; build skills, health, hope, and community; and confront the underlying issues that lead to poverty and hunger. Our wide range of programs include drop-in meals, a food bank, community kitchens and gardens, perinatal and family support, civic engagement, and children and youth engagement.
We believe that access to healthy food is a basic human right.
