FoodLink Hotline

FoodLink is a volunteer-staffed telephone referral service that connects people with the food programs in their neighbourhoods. The FoodLink database contains over 1300 food program listings in Toronto. The Hotline has been operating since 1985- one of the first programs FoodShare established after its founding. Originally, the Hunger Hotline, as it was called, primarily referred callers to food banks and other emergency programs.
