*MARKET NEWS*
Our Good Food Market is now in its second year of providing fresh, affordable fruits and veggies to neighbours every Wednesday from 4:30-6:30pm. On nice days between May – November you will find us outside on the steps of Little Trinity Church (425 King St E), and on rainy days you’ll find us inside the church. The market incorporates a pay-it-forward system, enabling a safe and welcoming space for everyone to shop, regardless of means. If you are in need of a little extra help covering groceries, feel free to ask a volunteer for a coupon! If you would like to contribute to the coupon system (known as our “heart system”), there are options to donate at the till.
We have between 30-40 volunteers, including many community members. We are always glad to welcome more volunteers, so please reach out if you’re interested to .

Located near the Distillery District of Toronto, this weekly Good Food Market at 425 King Street East (outside the church) will be a place to access good quality, healthy fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices. Little Trinity Anglican Church has been part of this community since 1842 and continues to thrive as a church in the area. This Good Food Market aims to promote food security and build community in a part of the city that is seeing rapid renewal and growth.
Our partners, FoodShare are a known organization doing these markets throughout the city. FoodShare is a food justice organization, advocating for the right to food, and working to challenge the systemic barriers that keep people from accessing the food they need to thrive. We support community-led food initiatives and work alongside communities most affected by poverty and food insecurity
Little T’s Market “Heart” Scheme:
Here’s how it works:
Each heart token represents $1
Use a Heart:
Anyone can use up to 10 heart tokens to help cover their bill. Maybe you forgot your wallet or maybe things are a little tight this week. We don’t ask. You don’t have to justify.
Buy a Heart:
Feeling flush? Buy a few tokens and place them in the basket. Anyone can purchase a heart token. It’s our pay-it-forward system.
Adding $1 or $2 to your bill may make a big difference for our friends who use the scheme. Community care is a beautiful thing!
Come check out the Market! There are many different ways to be part of the Good Food Market which runs weekly on Wednesdays, from 4:30-6:30pm. See a quick video HERE! Become a volunteer in this exciting and much-needed venture in Corktown! To find out more details – email Karen at .
