Hold and slide the arrows from left to right to see an old mattress factory transform into a place of community, health and action.

340 Gerrard will be a place where conversations and connections happen, a place for convening, for community, and for belonging.

By creating a place where people are met with respect, where they’re not just receiving support but also helping friends and neighbours, we are building hope for the future.

Realizing our vision

23M

“When you focus on giving someone a really good meal that’s cooked with love, people feel that care and warmth.

When you feel included, you might be more inclined to bring your kids, you might get involved in a campaign to increase social assistance rates, or learn what herbs you can grow on your windowsill. You might learn that you are an outstanding cook.

These are the real things that add up to a place of caring full of empathy, respect and dignity.”

– Nick Saul, CEO, Community Food Centres Canada

Take a tour

At 340 Gerrard community members will share a meal or attend a nutrition workshop, visit the affordable market, dig in the garden or join a social justice club. Not only will they access high-quality food in thoughtfully designed space, they will also find community and be supported to take action on issues that affect their lives.

We're building a movement
