This interactive map was co-created with United Way of Greater Toronto to display food access programs located across York Region during COVID-19. To complement this map we also have a list of York Region Emergency Food Resources During COVID-19 that is updated weekly.

Food for Health … Food for All

Food security is defined as a situation in which all people obtain a safe, culturally acceptable, nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food system that maximizes self-reliance and social justice. (Hamm and Bellows, J Nutr Educ Behav. 2003; 35:27-43)

Food Insecurity: the inadequate or insecure access to adequate food due to financial constraints.
