Harvest Hope Share the Harvest

This Thanksgiving, help make sure everyone has a seat at a table.

Thanksgiving is about coming together, sharing a meal and giving thanks for the people and communities that make our lives richer. However, for too many families in York Region, putting enough food on the table can be a challenge.

This Thanksgiving, you can share your harvest.

Your generosity can help provide nutritious food and support to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity across York Region.

Every gift helps bring hope.

Whether you give $10, $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can, your donation helps the Food Bank of York Region provide essential food and support to people in our local communities.

Food Drive

Fund

Raise funds that help us safely move and distribute that food through our network of community partners across York Region. Together, your donations help strengthen local food access and ensure community partners have the food they need to serve people where they live.

Set a fundraising goal, create your own campaign and invite friends, family and colleagues to help Share the Harvest.

Host a Fundraiser

This fall, turn a birthday, Thanksgiving gathering or everyday activity into an opportunity to Share the Harvest. A fundraiser helps us safely move donated food through York Region and to the community partners who provide food access where people live.
Looking for an idea? Try:
  • Host a Halloween or costume fundraiser
