Community Kitchen

Hot Lunch Program

Rexdale Women's Centre, in partnership with the North York Harvest Food Bank offers hot meals. Come out and enjoy a delicious FREE meal. Socialize with other Rexdale community members and learn more about community services.

The program just started in April 2011 and the response from community has been amazing. The Community Kitchen Program is run by volunteers who have received food handling and nutrition training, in order to prepare delicious, healthy and nutritious meals.

Together community members create a platform for social networking and a place to congregate for people from diverse cultural backgrounds. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to get to know their community thus reducing the sense of isolation often experienced by new immigrants who have not had yet had the chance to create lasting connections in Canada. The program also offers a unique opportunity to taste food from diverse cultures which works magic in reducing barriers and promoting an atmosphere of respect for multiculturalism.
