Come Check Out Our Pay What You Can Store!
At FIF Pay-What-You Can Grocery Store, we make a wide array of food available daily – fresh organic fruit and vegetables, pre-made meals, salads, sandwiches, baked goods, as well as dog and cat food.
We couldn’t do what we do without the dedicated support of our generous contributors: Whole Foods, Petite Thuet (bakery), Cobbs Bakery, Second Harvest Food Rescue, and Harbord Bakery, among others.
As we often say here: Team Work Makes The Dream Work.
Thank you to all our contributors!

PAYMENT & POINT SYSTEM:
How it works:
We want you to have complete ease and comfort in shopping for the food you want, so we have developed a point system that makes things easy and allows everyone to shop with dignity.
Each item of fresh food or dry good is on a point system.
Here is a simple example:
1 point = 50 cents
Pay or donate $5 and purchase $20 of food
For example:
Box of Salad: 2 pts or $1
2 Large potatoes: 1 pt or 50 cents
Large cucumber: 2pts or $1
Peppers: 1 pt – 50 cents
Canned Sauce: 2pts or $1
Package of pasta: 2pts – or $1
Onion: 2pt or $1
