Community Dining Programs

The Community Dining Programs at Access Alliance are part of a continuous emergency food access initiative that offers a free weekly home-cooked, healthy and nutritious meal to community members facing food insecurity. They are held at our east and west locations and are available to all clients who are in need, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Championed by a team of Access Alliance staff and community volunteers, over 150 meals are served free every week in a dignified, dine-in space where community members can eat a nourishing meal, socially connect, and learn about programs and services offered through Access Alliance and partner agencies.

Our year-round Community Lunch Program is for anyone seeking to eat nourishing food alongside community. Every Thursday, community members are invited to drop-in for a free hot lunch to eat together, socialize, and make connections in a welcoming environment. Meals are prepared with love by a dedicated team of staff and community volunteers. Lunches feature seasonal ingredients with global flavours, representing both local and international connections with food. Take out meals are available by request for community members unable to dine-in.

This program is supported by donations and funding from Daily Bread Food Bank.
