*MARKET NEWS*
As the market approaches its first birthday on April 24, 2025, we are rejoicing in the many ways God has been working through it! Some updates:
We have continued through the winter months by moving indoors. This provided a wonderful opportunity to offer an informal ‘cafe’ environment, with free hot beverages and treats. People have thanked us for continuing through the winter, as many of our customers rely on the lower prices.
Provisions by Valerie continue to host a table at our market, handing out anywhere between 30-60 meals each week. Many of the market customers are grateful for this addition to their food supply for the week.
Our pay-it-forward system is working wonderfully! Each week we have customers adding a few dollars to their bill to go towards someone who may need it, and each week we have other people using that money to help cover their groceries. We are so grateful to God for the generosity of the community!
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 .
Looking forward, we will be moving outdoors again in May, setting up directly outside the church. Come by and check us out!
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 .
