A group of staff and dedicated volunteers serve North York by checking in with the recipients of the food hub and mobile food delivery, visiting homes, shopping for groceries, and brainstorming referrals to support agencies. In 2024 they made over 570 homes visits and over 800 phone calls.
While most intake requests are for referral to food support, we also refer clients to:
- Legal assistance
- Drives to medical appointments
- Clothing assistance
- Counselling
- Housing help
- Tutoring services
- Meal trains for families in crisis
- Children's summer camp
- Employment services
Our community care team has grown their capacity to care for residents in North York by taking 3 courses on how to take care of themselves as they care for others. These workshops focused on awareness of mental, emotional and physical stress and learned different self-care techniques. The community care team also participated in 2 workshops where they learned how to communicate and de-escalate complaints with HEART.
