The Beginning. In the early ’80s Due to the recession, many people weren’t working, therefore, there was a lack of food. Groups from different religious denominations started an emergency food supply that provides free groceries to those in need. Later the community group realized that food insecurity was not the only necessity and expanded their services to Family services, including Community and financial counseling, help with electricity bills, and tutoring children..

FROM THEN TO NOW. In the Mid ’80s N2N got registered and incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in Hamilton Ontario under the Canadian Revenue Agency.
