Food Services
Providing Access to Healthy Food Options
Our goal for Food Services at KSM is to provide families with access to healthy, nutritious, and culturally sensitive food options consistently. We rely on the support of community partners, donors, and local producers to ensure that the shelves in the market stay stocked and clients are empowered to make informed eating choices for themselves and their families supporting their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. We also seek to partner with other organizations in the region to contribute to and benefit the food system overall working to ensure that healthy food is available, accessible, and applicable to everyone who needs it.
- We engage people in making healthy eating choices regularly.
- We connect people to food programs that cater to their wants and their needs.
- We inspire people to achieve more for themselves by supporting their basic need for food.
Our Food Service Programs Include...
Believing that fresh nutritious food is critical to the health and welfare of a family KSM continues to work with the greater community to access and distribute healthy food options for families in need.
One of our goals at KSM is to provide families with consistent, healthy food to help increase their well-being. Our Choose Fresh program does just that!
Kerr Street Mission is not just a food bank. We provide care and community support for those who are in need, and sometimes that means we need to go beyond our doors to feed our neighbours.
Eating together has become an integral part of what we do. Gathering around the table, sharing food, conversation and time together is a wonderful way to connect people and build community.
Community meals are one of the highlights for our families, but due to COVID-19 we had to move away from our sit down community meals to a “take-out” model.
Food brings people together, and so does gardening. Learning and growing together in a community garden fosters an inspiring space where people can develop meaningful connections and skills while younger generations are empowered to take ownership of establishing more sustainable and food-secure communities.

A year ago I wouldn’t have been able to even consider working on my debt but because I’m taking care of physical health and eating right my mental health is better and now I feel ready to tackle debt.
