  • Is St. James Town Food Insecure? 

Learn more about food insecurity and how it impacts St James Town on this #OASISwednesday 

The OASIS Food Hub Feasibility study found that, "While the neighbourhood does have physical access to food with two grocery stores and a third within a 10- minute walk, St. James Town is insecure in terms of economic access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and culturally-relevant food."

However, the OASIS Food Hub is trying to address this!

  • Join us tomorrow evening for the Emergency Food Forum hosted by @ecojustfoodnetwork, @nfuontario, @localfoodfarmcoops, @conscious_minds and us at @sjtcoop !

We're helping to bring together people from all corners of the food system: workers, grocers, farmers, food sovereignty advocates, actionists, food system workers, distributors, restauranteurs, migrant farm workers, and so many more. Food permeates all parts of our lives and we need to work together across rural and urban settings to address the emergent issues arising in the pandemic and in climate chaos.

We cannot wait, we will mobilize!

Register via our link in our bio, don't forget to fill out the pre-registration survey in your confirmation email.

  • Its OASIS Wednesday! 🥬

Each Wednesday, we will be posting info and updates about the OASIS Food Hub. To kick it off, we are starting with the basics: 

What IS the OASIS Food Hub?! 

The St. James Town Co-op and Low Income Families Together have been incubating a food hub to build sustainable and just food access for St. James Town residents (and beyond). It integrates food growing, purchasing, and processing, as well as economic development and neighbourhood resilience. 

In 2019 we completed a feasibility study in partnership with the City of Toronto, which concluded that, “the community is skilled, enthusiastic, and in need; but, requires investment and space. There is a strong organizational network around OASIS to enable sustained success and growth." 

Now, we are in need of permanent space to continue building the food hub!!! This is more important than ever as our neighbourhood faces dire outcomes from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

If you want to see this wonderful, mutually beneficial community hub grow in St. James Town, here’s how you can help: 
- Sign our petition for space (link in bio) - only 32 more signatures needed to get to 10,000!
- Donate (link in bio)
- Get involved (send us an email) 
- Learn more and stay tuned for future OASIS Wednesday updates 
- Share our story!
