Since 1986, the St. Joseph's International Outreach Program has worked in collaboration with our partners in developing nations to build healthcare capacity through education, training, and capacity building efforts. With current projects in Uganda and Haiti, we are guided by the following principles: We believe universal access to effective healthcare is a basic human right and we will speak out against practices that run counter to this belief. We recognize that we work at the invitation of our in-country partners. We believe that our in-country partners must contribute to our projects in ways that are meaningful. We believe that raising false expectations is more detrimental than raising none. We accept that our work is highly dependent on factors beyond our control and as such, success metrics must be dynamic. We accept that anything is possible. Hope and action will guide our work.

The Stop’s work is based on the belief that food is a basic human right. Each year over 14,000 people access our centre for food, social support and advocacy. Although not often attracting the kind of attention it deserves, the hunger crisis in Toronto is severe. A recent study of our food bank members showed that 51% of them go hungry at least once a week. This inability to consistently access food translates into problems such as poor health and social isolation -- issues that ultimately affect us all as a society. While The Stop is probably best known for its food bank, we also run breakfast and lunch programs, offer pre- and postnatal nutrition and support, facilitate group cooking classes and grow food in a local park and greenhouse for many of our programs. The Stop is a vibrant place that is a well-respected leader in the food security sector.
