5N2 Food For All

Welcome to 5N2’s GoFundMe page, created to fund critical operational costs of our charity, which aims to fight food insecurity in the Greater Toronto Area.

Founded in Scarborough in 2013 by Seema David, 5N2 firmly believes that food is a human right and no one deserves to go hungry. With your donation, we can make a difference in the lives of those facing this daily struggle. Join us in bringing hope, dignity, and nourishment to the most vulnerable in our community.

From 2021 to 2022, food bank use in Scarborough increased by 29%, more than 10% higher than the second largest increase—seen in Etobicoke—at 17%.

Scarborough is disproportionately hungry, and that hunger is getting worse.

With your support, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by hunger. Every $8 donated allows us to provide a nutritious and satisfying meal to someone who would otherwise go without it. Additionally, a contribution of $15 can supply a bag of essential groceries, offering sustenance to individuals and families struggling to put food on the table.

The reality is that hunger affects people from all walks of life, particularly in marginalized communities. We witness firsthand the despair accompanying an empty stomach and its detrimental impact on physical and mental well-being. In these moments of vulnerability, we are reminded of the urgent need to take action and provide relief to those who are hungry. Homelessness and hunger can happen to any of us, so it is important we use our privilege to help those who find themselves in this challenging position.

This year, 5N2’s goals are to increase the amount of food support provided from 3500 to 4000 meals each week to address the increasing need for food.

Join us in making a meaningful and dignified impact in the lives of those who may not know where their next meal will come from. Your donation, regardless of size, will create nourishment, comfort, and hope for individuals and families facing the daunting reality of hunger. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate, and more connected community. Please consider donating today and help us relieve those enduring the pain of an empty stomach. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
