Welcome to Rozi Roti Food Bank Oshawa

Now, we are helping the community in fighting against food insecurity. 

Our mission is to ensure that no one in our community goes to bed hungry. We are excited to announce the launch of our newest initiative:

“Rozi Roti Food Bank Oshawa.”

Why Oshawa Needs a Food Bank?

Food insecurity is a growing concern in Oshawa and the broader Durham Region. Recent reports indicate that 16% of households in Durham Region are food insecure. This means that approximately 88,000 residents are struggling to access adequate food. The situation has been exacerbated by rising food prices and housing costs, with food bank usage in the region increasing significantly since 2019.

In Oshawa specifically, many families are facing tough choices between paying for groceries or other essential needs. The cost of a basic healthy diet for a family of four has risen to $853 per month, representing a 15% increase over the last five years. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment has surged to $1,777, making it even harder for low-income families to make ends meet.

 Our Mission

Rozi Roti Food Bank Oshawa aims to address this urgent need by providing free, nutritious food to individuals and families in our community. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.
