The Food Bank of York Region - Home

    No one should miss a meal due to poverty

    The Food Bank of York Region (FBYR) is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity and hunger in York Region. We serve as a nexus between the abundance of surplus food in Ontario and the non-profit organizations that provide food and meals in their programs, and the people they serve.

    What We Do

    FBYR collects, warehouses and delivers surplus food to food pantries all across York Region.

    Why We Do It

    Food insecurity is a public health crisis that negatively impacts people’s health and well-being.

    Get Involved

    You can help address the food crisis by donating goods, financial contributions and volunteering.

    Serving Our Community

    In response to the increased demand for food assistance, the Food Bank of York Region has continuously grown its food collection and delivery services to help meet the need of people facing food insecurity in our community.

    Our food distribution has grown annually since 2020 to bridge the growing food gap, providing over 3.2 million meals in 2023. With your support, we can ensure that more food reaches more people in need in our region.
