Demand for services up 15% since January

North York Harvest member agencies are reporting a 15% increase in demand from January to March 2009. This represents a 39% increase over the same time last year. North York Harvest expects these figures to rise further over the summer as EI benefits run out and household assets are depleted. Consequently, we continue to forecast greater demand on our resources in the coming months.

The public can support North York Harvest programs and services over the summer through financial or food donations.

Financial contributions can be made online using a credit card, or by phone at 416-635-7771, or cheques can be mailed to: North York Harvest Food Bank, 640 Lawrence Ave West, Toronto, ON M6A 1B1.

Food donations can be dropped off at any of our permanent drop-off locations or at our main office during regular buisness hours.
