Who we are
MIND Program is devoted to nourishing Toronto at-risk and marginalized communities with on-site compassionate food programs where populations are facing the heavy burdens of poverty, food insecurity, addiction, disabilities, mental health challenges or mental illness, and isolation.
What we do
We distribute free, healthy, hearty, & homemade meals in Toronto's at-risk and under resourced communities, ensuring that access to nutritious meals and groceries is available where it’s needed most. At our monthly full-service, restaurant style free community lunch events, we use the power of good food and warm hospitality to create inclusive spaces where individuals can connect, share, and support one another. We believe that every meal served is an opportunity to strengthen community bonds, to uplift those who feel forgotten, and to foster an environment where everyone can thrive.

MIND Program Meal Distribution Channels
MIND Program provides free, nutritious, homemade meals to individuals and families experiencing poverty across the city. Through partnerships with Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Scarborough East Toronto Family Health Team (SETFHT), The Second Chance Foundation, and other community organizations, we reach those who often go unseen—people facing disabilities, mental health challenges, or other barriers to accessing food. By working with frontline organizations that understand local needs, we ensure our meals get to those who need them most, offering nourishment, dignity, and a sense of connection to some of the city's most vulnerable residents.




Program Benefits
Our program is a lifeline for those facing the harsh realities of food insecurity, supporting those who don't have enough to eat and don't know where their next meal will come from. In 2024 MIND Program served 14,000 meals to our Toronto communities with an ever increasing demand for more. Our work is essential amidst the escalating poverty rates in Toronto, worsening housing crisis, and growing numbers of populations living with food insecurity.
