Emergency Food Support: Afri-Can Food Basket

The Afri-Can FoodBasket is a community based non-profit organization that has been at the forefront of championing Food Justice and Food Sovereignty for Toronto’s African, Caribbean, Black (ACB) community since 1995.

In response to the impact COVID-19 had on members of our community, the Afri-Can Food Basket launched the Black Food Toronto program as a food sovereignty initiative that would address food insecurities faced by disadvantaged, low income and undocumented members of Toronto’s ACB community. As a result of this initiative our team has been coordinating weekly deliveries of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables at no cost to members of the ACB community who need support in accessing healthy culturally sensitive food. Contact (416) 832-5639.
