Services

At Kerr Street Mission, Food Services provides consistent access to healthy, nutritious, culturally appropriate food. With the support of community partners, donors, and local producers, we keep our market stocked and empower families to make informed choices that support their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing while strengthening a more accessible local food system.

If you need food support, we are here to help.

Our Key Programs

Food Market

Our Food Market is a place where people can find real support and real choice. Our clients can pick up everything from non-perishables to fresh, nutritious, culturally meaningful foods in a welcoming and respectful space. Open nine times a week, it is there when people need it, making it easier to put good food on the table and take a step forward.

Choose Fresh

Choose Fresh is a program that provides consistent access to healthy food to support overall well-being. Participants receive seasonal produce and locally sourced proteins, with culturally diverse and plant-based options available. Weekly recipes and practical cooking tips are included to help with easy meal planning and preparation. Participants can also access the Food Market at no cost each week.

Community Delivery

We extend care beyond our walls through a home delivery program for individuals who are immunocompromised, facing health challenges, or at higher risk. Each week we connect for a wellness check and food selection, then volunteers carefully pack and deliver personalized food boxes directly to homes, ensuring ongoing access to food, care, and connection.

Market Express

Market Express is a convenient online ordering service that makes it easier for members to access essential groceries. Clients can browse and place orders online, then choose pickup or home delivery. Our goal is to reduce barriers and make accessing healthy, essential food as simple, flexible, and accessible as possible.

Community Meals

Breaking Bread, Building Community

At Kerr Street Mission we are intentional about building community. We recognize that connecting with others regularly, having a sense of belonging and friendships has a profound impact on our health and well being.

Eating together has become an integral part of what we do. Gathering around the table, sharing food, conversation and time together is a wonderful way to connect people and build community.

Currently we are offering 5 meals each week. Meals are lovingly provided by volunteers groups. The groups purchase, prepare and serve the meals. All who come have an opportunity to fill-up on a nutritious meal, build relationships and enjoy the company of others.
