Many of our parishes have made it a tradition to host a food drive leading into Thanksgiving weekend to support the Good Shepherd Ministries. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Good Shepherd needs our parishes’ help more than ever.

Good Shepherd has been helping the homeless and vulnerable of Toronto since 1963 and, sadly, the need for its help has only increased since the pandemic arrived in Canada. Since March 17, Good Shepherd has provided more than 100,000 bagged and takeaway meals to those in need.

To help restock the shelves of the shelves of Good Shepherd Ministries as winter approaches, the parishes of the Archdiocese of Toronto are asked to collect non-perishable food items for this worthy cause.
