Halal food, delivered free to the door — open to anyone in need, regardless of faith, culture, race, and background.
Meals figure reported by Rozi Roti Impact.
Rozi Roti did not begin as a food bank. It began in Pakistan in 2022, teaching digital skills to people from less-privileged backgrounds — roughly 1,300 people have been trained through that wider work.
Rozi is livelihood. Roti is bread. From the beginning the organisation held both halves together: a person needs a way to earn tomorrow, and something to eat tonight.
When the work reached Durham Region, the need in front of it was more immediate. There were food banks here — but for many households they did not quite work. Reaching one without a car could mean two buses and a long walk home carrying bags. And for families who keep halal, the shelves often held food they could not use.
A halal food bank that comes to you.
Open to anyone who needs support — regardless of faith, culture, race, and background.The digital-skills programme is a separate initiative from the Food Bank. Its figures are shown as origin context only and form no part of Food Bank impact numbers.
A short online form tells us about your household and what you need.
We check each and every application. A dedicated team reviews the documents and speaks with the household directly.
Halal groceries arrive at your door. No pickup, no lineup, no cost.
There is no queue to join and no public collection point, so nobody has to be seen asking for help. The delivery driver knows the address — nobody else does.
Our vehicles carry no food bank branding. Nothing on the car, nothing on the box at the door. No neighbour needs to know a family is being helped.
No fee at intake, no charge on delivery, no cost recovered later. Groceries arrive and that is the end of the transaction.
Rozi Roti has never worked alone. Mosques, local businesses and community organisations have carried this alongside us — hosting collection points, running food drives with us, and telling neighbours the service exists.
Independent grocers and shops that host bins and give stock.
Student-led drives that bring volume — and teach generosity early.
Residents and staff collecting for neighbours they may never meet.
The Food Bank still runs without a dedicated facility. A permanent space would mean real storage, proper refrigeration, room for volunteers to sort and pack, and a delivery operation that can grow.
One-off generosity fills a shelf; monthly giving keeps it filled — and turns a promise of food into one families can plan around.
