We are grateful to the following small businesses for their generous support of this program.

About the Program:
The Not Just A Food Program is a free initiative designed to provide food, clothing, and other essential necessities to individuals and families who are struggling to make ends meet. We aim to offer a helping hand and bring a little more compassion to those facing difficult circumstances.

Free Lunch on Tuesdays And Fridays:
Every Tuesday & Friday, we offer a free lunch consisting of a meat sandwich (usually ham) or a peanut butter and jam sandwich, along with a banana. We are working toward providing more options for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions. For example, we are exploring alternatives for individuals who cannot eat ham, such as chicken or turkey sandwiches.

Support for Mobility Issues:
For those with mobility challenges, the program offers food deliveries directly to their homes.

Partnership with SOCKS:

We’ve partnered with SOCKS, an incredible group that provides new socks to individuals in need.

Upcoming Donation Drive:
Stay tuned for our upcoming awareness drive, where you can drop off donations at various locations around Oshawa. Your contributions will directly support those in need.

New Hygiene Essentials:
We’re also working on securing toothbrushes and toothpaste for participants, with plans to expand to other basic hygiene necessities. Additionally, we are relaunching our LIFE Clothing initiative, which will help provide clothing for those in need.

How to Get Involved:
If you are not already signed up for the program, lunches are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Individuals who are signed up can either pick up their lunch at Front Porch Mentors or have it delivered to their homes.

The Not Just A Food Program is entirely volunteer-run and relies on donations. It’s a growing, independent initiative aimed at fostering more love and compassion in our community and beyond.

LIFE - Love Is For Everyone!
