Food for Now

Food for Now At *Food for Now*, we are dedicated to serving individuals experiencing food insecurity in South Etobicoke and Toronto’s downtown hub.
(6)

Food for Now is a grassroots outreach dedicated to feeding people, restoring dignity, and strengthening community through barrier-free, street-level care for seniors, newcomers, and those facing hunger, homelessness, and isolation in South Etobicoke Our efforts are powered entirely by local businesses and public donations, reflecting the incredible generosity of our community. We are not a charity

or a non-profit organization. Instead, we believe in helping people in need, one person at a time. Several times a week, we fill a car with donations—freshly made sandwiches, fruit, soft cookies, chocolate, crackers, sardines, tuna, gently used clothing, socks, shoes, jackets, blankets. — and deliver them directly to people in needs across South Etobicoke and Toronto. Our wonderful donors and volunteers go above and beyond, preparing homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, muffins, and more, which we ensure reach those who need them most. For us, it’s not just about food or clothing but about the human connection. We ask individuals what they need in the moment, offering practical items to make life more bearable. Life can change for anyone in an instant, and we’re here to provide a little comfort and support during those challenging times.

This Friday was extra special for me because I had my grandson by my side helping to serve. He loved every minute of it. As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

At the end of the night, he looked at me and said, *“Grandpa, can we do it again?” Those words echoed in my heart then, and they will continue to do so for a long time.

Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the evening such a success. Your kindness, teamwork, and dedication made it a truly memorable night. I am grateful to have shared this experience with such an amazing group of people. ❤️

Home sweet home. ❤️

Tonight my heart is filled with so much gratitude. After a long journey, I finally have a place of my own. From rented bedrooms over the years to now having my own one-bedroom apartment, this moment means more than words can express.

A quiet space to breathe, heal, reflect, and simply be. The inside is beautiful, but what touches me even more is the peace outside… the garden, the trees, and the birds singing in the morning. Small things that mean everything.

Life has taught me that patience matters. Accepting what is, even during difficult seasons, eventually brings us where we are meant to be. Living in the Now, letting go of resentment, choosing kindness, and helping others even when life feels heavy… somehow those things open doors we could never force open ourselves.

Selflessness, gratitude, and faith truly bring you to a special place where God quietly makes things happen in His own time.

For the first time in a long time… I feel at home. 🙏
