As part of The Starbucks Foundation’s Neighbourhood Grants program, Beach United Church was selected to receive a $2,700 grant. This grant award is thanks to a nomination from our local Starbucks partner at 1960 Queen St. East, who recognized the food justice work at Beach United.

Through this unique program, The Starbucks Foundation invites Starbucks partners to nominate a local organization in their community. Since 2019, more than 10,000 grants have been awarded to local organizations, amounting to more than $15 million.

We are so grateful for this grant, and want to thank our friends at Starbucks for nominating us – we are excited to continue our food justice work, and help provide nutritious meals to our community.

As we all know, hunger does not stop for the summer, so we at Beach United are planning to continue to provide a takeaway lunch at our doors starting next week.

These lunches will include sandwiches, a piece of fruit and a baked goodie every week on Thursdays from 11am-12pm. As always, this is welcome to everyone in need of a nutritious takeaway meal.

In order for us to continue throughout the summer, we would very much appreciate your financial support – you can find ways to donate at this link.

Volunteers may also be needed, so please contact us if you would like to help out! Thank you in advance.
