Better Breakfast Donations
Non-profit Organization

 Welcome to Better Breakfast Donations
Non-profit Organization Website

 We are a student-led organization whose aim is to reach out to different communities and lower the food insecurity rate by donating breakfast food packages.

The Problem:
Since 2021, almost 1 in 5 (18.6%) of people in Toronto suffer from food insecurity. Over the last two years, this number has fluctuated slightly, but many people still continue to suffer from this.

Our Mission:
For around 1-2 months, BBD makes 4 trips to a shelter or retirement residence and donates individual packages of juice boxes, fruits, and baked goods. Student volunteers get together to assemble the packages and deliver them to different organizations in Toronto. Our breakfast packages provide people with a healthy breakfast meal and it also gives us the opportunity to do community outreach and connect with new people.

Impact:

 Alexis Lodge Retirement Residence:

BBD has done 4 drop-offs with the Alexis Lodge Retirement Residence, a residential home for people with dementia. They use a non-institutional approach to memory care. Rather than the cold, austere appearance of a typical care facility, Alexis Lodge operates in a residential home setting to give residents a feeling of home. Check them out through their website: www.alexislodge.com

Scott Mission:

BBD has done 4 drop-offs with the Scott Mission, a Christian non-denominational charity organization in Toronto. They aim to provide required services to men, women and children where there is a defined need. Check them out through their website: www.scottmission.com

YWCA Toronto:

BBD has done 8 drop-offs at 2 different shelters with the YWCA, an organization aiming to end gender-based violence in Canada. Through responding to urgent needs in communities, the YWCA has events and projects to build affordable housing, advocate for workplace equity, and work to advance gender equity overall.
