About the Coalition
Our Mission

Our Vision
We collect food abundance, connect people, and nourish communities - creating a more joyous, food prosperous future together
The London Food Coalition is a city-wide network of community organizations, businesses, and volunteers working together to create a more abundant, sustainable, and dignified local food system. Formed in response to rising challenges in food access and resource distribution, the coalition brings people and organizations together to share food abundance and ensure that fresh, nourishing food reaches the programs and communities that need it most.
​
What began as a small group of organizations has grown into a collective effort to strengthen local food systems, reduce environmental impact, and support community well-being through collaboration and care. By collecting surplus food from farms, retailers, and suppliers, and redistributing it to frontline organizations across London, the coalition plays a vital role in turning surplus into solutions—and food into connection.
​
As a registered Canadian charity (Charity Reg. #772044673RR0001), the London Food Coalition is dedicated to advancing food prosperity in all corners of the city. The fresh food it redistributes supports a wide range of local programs—from family cooking initiatives and nutrition education, to summer camps, community meals, and school-based supports for children and families. In addition to improving access to good food, the coalition also helps member organizations reduce costs, increase impact, and focus their resources where they matter most.
