Over 10,000
meals for our community
Everyone deserves to eat good food.
The Good Food Impact is a nonprofit organization that strives to increase access to nutritious and delicious meals for our community. Our meals are meant for anyone experiencing food insecurity or food stress to access. We believe that everyone has the right to nutritious and delicious food.
The Good Food Impact (previously Good Food Project) started as a research project by a long time resident of Whitchurch-Stouffville. What started as a project, quickly turned into a community initiative. Run entirely by volunteers, the Good Food Impact prepares nutritious meals which are distributed to local organizations and can then be accessed by anyone in the community, on a no questions asked policy.
The Good Food Impact is proud to be recipients of funds from the following organizations.
