Food Programs
At Gravenhurst Against Poverty (GAP), we believe that access to nutritious food is a fundamental right for everyone in our community. Our Food Programs are designed to provide immediate, reliable support for individuals and families in Gravenhurst, addressing food insecurity with dignity and compassion. From warm meals to fresh produce, our programs foster a sense of community and ensure that no one has to face hunger alone. Whether you’re looking for a place to enjoy a meal, connect with others, or pick up essential groceries, GAP’s Food Programs are here to help our neighbours.
