Whom do you primarily serve?

We serve low-income, homeless or marginally housed and socially isolated community members who live between Bloor Street (south), St. Clair Avenue (north), Dovercourt Road (east) and Runnymede Road (west). Our population is diverse – our program participants come from 32 countries and speak 16 languages.

These different groups are brought together by a lack of adequate income with which to purchase nutritious food that ensures good health. For example, the median after-rent income per person per day for our community members is $5.80 and 66% of our participants report that they have no money left for food or any other expense after they have paid rent. The Stop is a critical resource for many of the most vulnerable people in our community.
