Innovation Assistance runs solidarity markets for members every first and third Monday of the month from 1pm-5pm at Centre St Jax: 1439 Ste Catherine St W.
Membership
To be eligible for membership you must fulfill two criteria:
-
Your home address is in the Peter-McGill district (Your postal code starts with one of the following: H3A, H3B, H3C, H3G, H3H, H3J, H3Y, H3Z)
-
You self-identify as needing food assistance. (For instance, our member base is primarily made up of low-income seniors, students, families, and single parents.)
In considering membership, please keep in mind that our markets offer fresh produce and prepared foods at 50% of what you would pay on average at the grocery store. Given that our waitlist continues to grow and we continue to work with limited resources, we ask that you consider the situations of others as well as your own. Our goal is to increase the accessibility of food quality, affordable food for everyone in the neighbourhood, while aiming to prioritize those most in need. Though we do not ask for financial statements, we do ask that you keep all this in mind when requesting membership.
