Our Mission
Our mission is two-fold: to save perfectly good food that would otherwise be destined for landfills and to support Canadians that are currently food insecure. There’s never been a more urgent time to help our local communities, and that’s where Feed It Forward comes in. We regularly travel around the Greater Toronto Area working with a variety of organizations such as grocery stores, restaurants, farms and other key partners who help out by donating unused and unsold food that is still perfectly edible.

Canada's First "Pay What You Can" Grocery Store
We have been operating Canada’s first and only Pay-What-You-Can Grocery Store, bakery and coffee shop since June 2018. All food rescued by Feed It Forward is diverted to the grocery store where it is sorted and organized by volunteers and then put out on the shelves for customers. Customers pay what they can afford based on their budget or can take what they need free of charge. Many customers choose to give back by donating their own food or volunteering at the store or with Feed It Forward’s other programs.
Our Pay What You Can Grocery Store, Cafe, and Bakery is located at 2770 Dundas St West, Unit A, Toronto ON M6P 1Y3.
Holiday hours may differ.
We're open every day of the week
