5n2 was founded by Seema David in 2013 after she witnessed the horrific scenes of homelessness and hunger in downtown Toronto. Determined to help her community, Seema began to serve soup three days a week. 5n2 Kitchens was born, operating out of a shared space at the Global Kingdom Ministries church kitchen.
In early 2019, 5n2 moved into its own space where food operations expanded to keep up with the growing issues surrounding food insecurity. Programs operated seven days a week providing the community with over 3500 meals per week to guarantee fresh, healthy, and nourishing meals.
However, as a non-profit, 5n2 is continually challenged with sustaining services. At the end of last year, 5n2 was forced to relocate preventing services to operate at half capacity. As a result, 5n2 requires donor outreach and publications to spread awareness about the hunger crisis. Students are encouraged to apply to join the cause in helping feed the community!
