Ghetto "breakfasts"

It's hard to find a good free breakfast in Toronto.

PARC will serve up some pretty sad cereal, the Corner Drop-In at least gives you the makings of peanut butter and jelly sandwitches (and soup or eggs if you show up around 8am), and the Christie Ossington Neighborhood Center is all over the map but always on the light side.

Apparently, the Lawyers Feed the Hungry program serves breakfast from 6:45 - 7:45 on thursdays.

The Good Shepherd will at least give you some kind of eggs during their daily 9am - 11am breakfasts. And they'll have all sorts of bagels and peanut butter. But even their breakfasts are pretty lackluster.

And then there's the Out of the Cold program, and when that starts, a lot of these places start to get better breakfasts. It's hard to co-ordinate these programs though, even staff seem confused about them.
