In 2021, we opened the COMMONS CUPBOARD, a resource-sharing initiative available to anyone in the community. Available 24/7, year-round, on a self-serve basis, the cupboard is designed to lower barriers and stigma to accessing food help for those in need. Located just outside the church in a prominent spot near on Kensington Road, just feet from the public transit, the Cupboard has become an important fixture for many in the neighbourhood.
If you need to access the cupboard, you can stop by the church anytime and take what you need. If you're able to contribute to the cupboard, you can drop off non-perishable food and hygiene items by placing them directly in the cupboard.
Commons has committed $24,000 to the Cupboard project in 2024.
