Food Security was identified during our 2018 Needs Assessment as an area of great concern within Gravenhurst and the surrounding area. G.A.P. has committed to supporting the community and tackling the issue of food security head-on. The goal was to further enhance the offerings that were available to those in need. |

The G.A.P. Food Program currently has THREE offerings:
Tuesday Meal Day
Every Tuesday • 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM ALL ARE WELCOME! The Tuesday Meal Day runs every Tuesday at G.A.P. (lower level of Trinity United Church) from 12:30 PM - 1:30PM. Neighbours are invited to pick up a freshly cooked meal, that can be taken to go or enjoyed at G.A.P. in the Food Room.

Thursday Food Day
Every Thursday ALL ARE WELCOME! Neighbours are invited to sign up for the G.A.P. Food Day Program.

To register, please call 705-641-2225 or reach out via email to: [email protected] (The cut-off to be added to a food delivery is the Friday of the week prior.) |
“I’m happy to put aside a few hours a week to help our neighbours who need our help. Helping to put food on their tables brings a great deal of satisfaction and a sense of community to me. It’s sad that we have so many neighbours that need the kind of help that G.A.P. is trying to provide, but I’m glad to be a small part of the solution in Gravenhurst.”
