Our New Home at 5 Brock Ave
In January 2025, we opened the doors to our new home. This exciting milestone was made possible by the incredible support of donors, volunteers, and community members like you.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us at our opening party in February! It was heartwarming to see so many familiar and new faces coming together to celebrate this milestone.
We're committed to making 5 Brock a warm, welcoming space for everyone. Thanks to your support, we're excited to be working on improving the space to make it more accessible for our community members. We are also going to be working to improve volunteer and staff working spaces.
Donate today to help us continue to build our new home! And keep an eye out for more updates, as we continue to transform this space to meet the needs of our community.
Another Great Year at the Beneva Spring Run-Off
Thank you to everyone who participated, fundraised, and donated! Together we raised $70,000! Every dollar helps us to close gaps in programming, improve accessibility, and ensure no one in Parkdale goes without food.
A massive thank you to Beneva and Canada Running Series for their generous support!
We're also thrilled to be returning as the charitable partner for the Rev & Run! Join us to run on the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto Race Track on July 18th! Stay tuned for registration details.
PCFB in the News: CBC, Canada Votes
On March 25, we had the pleasure of welcoming Meagan Fitzpatrick and the CBC team to our location at 5 Brock Avenue. During their visit, they spoke with our Executive Director, Kitty Raman-Costa, to discuss the issues that mean the most to our community members during this year's election.
Kitty highlighted several key issues that impact the daily lives of our community members, including the urgent need for more affordable housing and healthcare, and the rising cost of food that has made it increasingly difficult for individuals and families to put meals on the table.
