Would You Like to Assist with Our Efforts?

The "Not Just A Food Program" is exactly what the name suggests—it’s not just about providing free meals. It’s about taking support for those most in need to the next level. In addition to meals, we’re working to provide essentials like clothing through LIFE Clothing and will soon launch LIFE Necessities, addressing critical needs like hygiene products and other life essentials.

We recognize that food insecurity often goes hand in hand with other challenges, such as access to clothing and basic necessities. Our goal is to build a network that fills the gaps left by existing support programs and organizations. Many of these programs only highlight their successes, but the reality is often more complex. For example, some programs won’t allow others to pick up food or necessities on behalf of those who cannot make it to their location. Imagine relying on a walker or cane, facing freezing temperatures, and being unable to reach the support you desperately need.

We’re addressing these challenges by working one-on-one with individuals, learning about their struggles, and providing personalized support. This allows us to bring more love and compassion into our efforts. For those with mobility issues or other barriers, we deliver meals, clothing, and other essentials directly to them. Through donations, we also locate specific clothing needs and deliver items when available.

This approach takes time and effort, but it’s helping us grow steadily. We’re reaching more individuals, building stronger relationships, and adding volunteers who share our passion for helping others. By focusing on small groups and individual connections, we can make better use of limited resources and create a support base that truly understands and addresses the struggles of those in need.

Together, we can bring more compassion, love, and understanding to our community. With your help, we can continue to grow and fill the gaps in support within Oshawa. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word, every effort makes a difference.

Join us in creating a more compassionate and inclusive community—because LIFE truly is for everyone.

LIFE - Love Is For Everyone.
