The Stop Community Food Centre

@SecondHarvestCA's delivery and warehouse programs rescue surplus food from businesses and redistribute it to non-profits like The Stop. This partnership helps us provide fresh, healthy food to our local community while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and food waste.

Every year, @GovanBrown rocks out for a cause, and we’re so grateful for their support—from painting our food bank to hosting a charity concert for The Stop. 🎸 Catch @bigwreckmusic & Daniel Greaves at Cureapalooza VII next week at @thephoenixtdot . bit.ly/big-wreck-tick…

We did it! 🥳 $9,487 raised, hundreds of meals shared, and a Thanksgiving full of dignity, care, and community. Thank you for continuously supporting The Stop! 💚 #WorldFoodDay
