Dundas West: the street that escaped The Stop's Food Bank's catchment zone

If you're on Dundas West, between Runnemede and Dovercourt, even if you're south of Bloor, you're in the catchment zone for The Stop's Food Bank. Even though their site says:


It's just because of the way they verify people's addresses. So, it's not like they're going to throw you out for being south of Bloor. Not if you're on Dundas. If you were on Lansdowne next to Dundas instead of the other way around, well, you'd be fucked. But you're on Dundas, and Dundas dips south of Bloor, and they just kind of didn't notice. And some of them know about that, at this point, and they'll probably change it, probably soon, so I guess what is being said here is, register before they change it.

And also, you should go. Because apart from TVFB (the Toronto Vegetarian Food Bank), this is the only place with the fresh veggies. With, like, lots of them. With Kale. With lentils, chicpeas, beans... dry ones, not just canned ones. Some of the veggies are organic. No real nut or fruit situation apart from some apples and maybe some peanut butter, but the fresh veggies are there.
