On December 17 & 18, 2021, at Scadding Court, we held an event to give away food and gift baskets.

550 families were given baskets with fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, cheese, cold cuts, desserts, and more.

These included the following:
310 Turkeys
144 Chickens
96 Halal Chickens
225 shoe boxes with toiletries, shampoo, makeup, gift cards, etc.
Many quilts and items of clothing
Approximately 300 Toys for children

Thank you to all the clients that expressed their appreciation, and phoned in to share their great comments.

None of this would be possible would the help of our, approximately, 30 volunteers on both days, including 4 teams of 2 drivers to deliver food.
All packaging was done by volunteers also.

Thank you to all benefactors that supported Nonnina’s Table, for donating money, food, quilts, toys, and more.
Thank you to the people that support Nonnina’s Table throughout the year. They give their time and skills and financial support to feed the community every week, month, and year.

Wishing you all, in the coming year, a year of peace and joy.
Just a short history of December 2019
This year went by very fast, but it was a very productive year for Nonnina’s Table. Our Turkey event was a success. Feedback was very good. Our participants were not expecting such a variety of vegetables and fruits this year. Total amount of food distributed was just under thirteen thousand pounds. We distributed 385 turkeys.

Our toy room was a busy room and the toys was a amazing this year.
When the Salvation Army turned us down we refused to stay down. Nonnina’s Table reached out to the most generous people we knew.
Toy drives were set up by: The YPO members and The York Quilt Guild of Toronto.
Andie McGeachie from YPO and her kids delivered toys to us the day before our event. Family members and friends also donated to us.
Wendy, Anne and members of The York Quilt Guild donated beautiful hand made quilts for the children, collected toiletries for our baskets and did a toy drive.
Theresa Attard donated Old Navy clothes. Concetta Attard sewed beautiful dresses for the girls.
COFION shared their toys with us.
We also got shoe boxes from the shoe box program. Hats, mitts and gloves from Hot Paws.
Because of the great team effort we made 285 children and 195 families happy this Christmas.
Thank you to Alaa Yousif, Theresa Attard, Concetta Attard, YPO and Corina Hope for the monetary donations.

Special thanks to Jill Valentine, Nicole Hrinco from UGO change and Jacobs Quinton who sponsored a dinner (they cooked 200 dinners and supplied what was needed for the dinner)

Thanks again to all who gave us their time, food/financial help. Hope to see you all in 2020.

A letter from the founder.

Last Friday we had our first dinner for 2019 at Scadding Court. It was a great dinner and a rewarding one. Usually the majority of people who attends these dinners, tell us thank you and that the food is great.

This dinner was a little different in so many ways. The people who attended seemed to be happier, and one came to the kitchen to tell us that she was happy to be part of the dinner. She felt at home.

An artist that witnessed how content everyone seemed decided to donate a few pieces of her art work for our silent auction at our next gala. She will also ask her friends to donate their art work.

Last but not least some people that attended the dinner stayed and helped put the chairs and tables away for the first time ever.

It appears that our dinners are really appreciated and are a success.
