We announce it
Every stall is posted on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook — where, when and what's on offer.
Finding it tough to make ends meet? We're building a community where a meal, a little support and a friendly face are easier to find.
The idea
Moving to Canada to study or work is a big, brave step. But between rent, fees, a part-time job that hasn't come through yet and family thousands of kilometres away, some weeks are harder than others.
When money is tight, the grocery budget is often the first thing to shrink.
A new city can be lonely, and it's hard to know where to turn when you need a hand.
Many people go without rather than walk into something that feels like charity.

Who it's for
We started with international students in mind — but our table has room for anyone going through a tough stretch.
