Plant Compassion. Sprout Hope. is a spring fundraising and awareness campaign that invites residents, businesses, and community partners to help grow food security in York Region.
This campaign encourages people to plant compassion, knowing that acts of generosity create lasting impact. When you give to support food distribution across York Region, you help sprout hope for others while strengthening the well-being of the entire community.

The Food Bank of York Region is York Region’s only food distribution warehouse serving a network of community partners. They deliver nutritious food to food banks and social service agencies that provide support to individuals, families, and their pets experiencing food insecurity.


If you’re preparing your garden this spring, consider supporting the campaign by purchasing a Big Yellow Bag of garden soil from Zander Sod Co. Every bag sold, the buyers gets $5 off their bag and FBYR receives $20 donation to the Food Bank of York Region, helping strengthen food distribution and hunger relief efforts across York Region.
