This new model is better suited to the urban context by bringing together three interconnected programs: a neighbourhood market, Ontario Fresh Food Table, and ScarbTO Mrkt Bucks. This increased residents' access to local culturally diverse foods, and also created economic opportunities for urban and rural entrepreneurs, especially BIPOC.

Through this project $11,920 Mrkt Bucks were distributed in 2023 benefiting 94 households.

Our videos, photos, and Learning Report diligently document all the valuable insights and findings from the Scarborough Neighbourhood Fresh Food Pilot.

We are already looking forward to the 2024 pilot. Contact us if you’d like more information or to get involved!
