Getting food to those who need it most takes more than generosity—it takes trucks, drivers, and an entire logistics team to deliver quickly, safely, and on time. That’s where Amazon comes in. By leveraging its delivery network and logistics expertise, Amazon helps Daily Bread Food Bank move food across Toronto, breaking down one of the biggest barriers for non-profits: the high cost of transport.
Amazon Local Good launched during the pandemic to ensure essential supplies reached communities when they were needed most. What began as a crisis response has grown into an ongoing commitment—supporting nonprofits like Daily Bread with the reliable transportation of food, hygiene products, and other essentials, at no cost.
“Transportation is a huge expense for non-profits. But we already have the fleet—from 53-foot line hauls to local delivery vans—so why not use it to support the community?” says Nicholas Carbonell, Site Leader at Amazon’s HYZ2.
That commitment shows up every day. From weekly pick-ups with corporate donors, to bi-weekly collections from grocery store bins, to ad hoc runs like a recent jam donation from Crofters, Amazon delivery service partner (DSP) drivers help keep Daily Bread’s network supplied so more families can access the food they need.
For Amazon, the work is also personal. Many of their drivers live in the same communities they serve, giving back in a meaningful way. “Daily Bread is an organization that restores dignity when families need it most,” shares Amazon Local Good Program Manager, Mia Gooding Martin. “We’re proud to help make their vital work possible.”
This partnership is more than just deliveries—it’s proof of what happens when corporations and community organizations work together to fight food insecurity. Partnerships like this show just how easy—and impactful—it is to get involved. With Daily Bread’s team guiding every step, partnering is simple, seamless, and creates meaningful change for communities across Toronto.
