1 in 4 Toronto households struggle with food insecurity. Together, we can change that.
Right now, over 750,000 people in Toronto—including tens of thousands of children—are living with food insecurity. Across the GTA, demand for support has reached historic levels, with food banks seeing millions of visits each year. Behind these heartbreaking numbers are real families: parents skipping meals so their kids can eat, seniors choosing between groceries and rent.
At Our Giving Kitchen, we believe in the power of community and the joy of giving. Our caring volunteers from across the GTA gather in our kitchen to prepare fresh, nutritious meals that are delivered the very same day to neighbors who need them most. Together, we can bring dignity, warmth, and real nourishment to families across Toronto and the GTA.
Giving back never tasted so good.

Our recipe?
Fresh ingredients, volunteer cooks, and a heart to serve
We're not your typical soup kitchen or food pantry. We're an inclusive, non-denominational extension of the Toronto Jewish community that welcomes volunteers of all backgrounds for a hands-on, interactive way to give back to our community.
♥ FRESH MEALS MADE WITH LOVE
Every nutritious meal is made from scratch using high-quality ingredients and delivered the same day to local families in need. No preservatives, no cans—just wholesome food with heart.
♥ NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S VOLUNTEER GIG
No boring food drives or assembly lines here. Every OGK session offers an engaging, interactive experience that's anything but ordinary. Roll up your sleeves, make new friends, and feel great about giving back.
♥ PARTNERING FOR IMPACT
We team up with food banks, shelters and Jewish Chesed organizations across Toronto to get fresh meals directly to families who need them most, building bridges and maximizing our impact.
