The Winner of Association of the Year 2020
To meet the challenges of COVID we quickly moved from a shopping model based service to a drive thru/walk thru model to keep clients and volunteers safe. As the pandemic deepened we brought together community partners to form the Dufferin Food Share so that clients would have one point of contact for food to reduce their exposure.
