Nourish East End (formerly the Glen Rhodes Food Bank) is a community-driven, market-style food bank in Toronto’s East End. Each week, we provide welcoming access to fresh, nutritious food for over 750 neighbours. Built on the belief that food is a fundamental human right, we offer a warm environment where individual choice, dignity, and respect come first—while advocating for lasting food security across our city.

As an outreach program of East End United Regional Ministry—an affirming, social justice-focused community—Nourish East End practices radical hospitality. We warmly welcome everyone, regardless of background, faith, race, ability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Our weekly food bank and monthly community dinners are operated by more than 160 dedicated volunteers, many with lived experience of food insecurity, alongside strong partnerships with local businesses, schools, and neighborhood organizations.

East End Food Hub is a partnership of four organizations: East End United Regional Ministry and it’s outreach program, Nourish East End, Apple Grove Community Complex and the Leslieville Farmers Market. We all operate out of 1470 Gerrard St. E. (on the north side of Gerrard, one block west of Coxwell). Easily accessible via the 506 Carlton streetcar and 22 Coxwell bus. Our shared space brings the community together for fresh food distribution, monthly dinners and vital local support services.
