- Their stepsGo to 380 College St. The homepage lists grocery hours as Tuesday and Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (another page on the site says 12 p.m. on those days, so call 416-203-3011 to check). On Tuesday and Wednesday, random numbers are handed out at 8:45 a.m. for the first 100 people; do not arrive earlier. People who come after that can still line up. Choose your groceries with a volunteer's help, and ask about the community kitchen, free local phone, computer and resource information. Hot meal on Sundays from 12 p.m. while meals last. If the food bank is closed and you need food now, call 211 or Daily Bread Food Bank at 416-203-0050
