SHOP at Bathurst Finch Neighbourhood...................................................


What is SHOP?

  • SHOP is a FREE produce market for people who live in the Bathurst/Finch area with limited access to fresh food.
  • SHOP takes place every 4th Friday of the month, from 3:00-4:30pm.
  • All the food at the market is provided through food donations to Second Harvest, a local food rescue organization. Quantity and variety of food varies, depending on food donations.
  • SHOP is possible through the hard work of volunteers in the community, the BFN Food Action Team and Second Harvest.

*Food is distributed according to the size of family and quantities available.
Registration is required.

Please register with Zahra Abdi, zabdi@circleofcare.com to obtain a number and family-size lanyard.
Please bring your own bags and help keep the area litter-free.
