We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired a forever home!
This incredible milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for our organization and we couldn't have done it without your support.
Our journey is just beginning, and we need your help to make our new space truly come to life. Your generous support will enable us to expand our services and better serve our community with choice, dignity, and respect.
For years, PCFB has struggled to find space in Parkdale, a small and rapidly gentrifying community where access to affordable space is limited.
Our current location at 263 Dunn Avenue, while a lifeline for our operations, has always been a temporary solution. With our lease ending soon and our community’s needs growing, it has become clear that we need to put down permanent roots. And now, thanks to your support, we are able to do just that at 5 Brock Avenue.
Why This Move Matters
The purchase of this new space will allow us to unite all of our programming under one roof, creating a true hub for our community. Within this new home we will have:
Space for our Delivery Program
Space for our Drop-In Grocery Program
Dedicated space for volunteers
Staff offices & meeting space
Loading dock for deliveries
Significantly expanded storage space for food inventory
Room to grow 🌱
Our new home will give the space we need to grow and adapt to best serve our community. With 5 Brock Ave as our permanent home, we can finally offer our community the stability it deserves.
While we have purchased this property, we recognize that we are borrowing this land from its original caretakers – the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples, and are committed to honouring its history and the communities that have cared for it for generations.
A Huge Thank You
We are incredibly grateful to our donors, partners, and community members for making this
possible. Your generosity and belief in our mission have helped us achieve something truly monumental. From all of us here at the PCFB, thank you for helping us put down permanent roots in Parkdale.
Help Us Make the Most of Our New Home
Our journey is just beginning, and we need your continued support to make the most of our new space.
This is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Parkdale Community Food Bank. We look forward to growing together in our new home and continuing to serve our community with choice, dignity, and respect.
With gratitude,
The Parkdale Community Food Bank Team 🍏
