Knights Table

What Knights Table does

Knights Table is a registered Canadian charitable organization (BN 132503731RR0001) operating a food bank and community soup kitchen headquartered in Brampton, Ontario, with service delivery concentrated in the Peel Region. Founded approximately in 1991, the organization has run continuously for over 34 years, delivering food bank services, hot meals, mobile food truck distribution, weekly food hampers for seniors, and a Back to School Backpack Program to vulnerable individuals, low-income seniors (60+), single-parent families, and children living in poverty and food-insecure households. Operations run 365 days per year, supported by a small staff team of approximately 10 and a volunteer workforce exceeding 4,200 people, and the organization reports serving over 200,000 meals and distributing over 1 million pounds of food annually. There are no paid beneficiaries — all services are provided free of charge.

The organization's product surface consists of four core operational programs — the in-person Food Bank Services, the Mobile Community Kitchen Food Truck (launched December 2020 with federal COVID-19 Reaching Home funding), the Good Neighbour Mobile Seniors Program delivering hot meals and weekly hampers to seniors' doorsteps, and the Back to School Backpack Program for children ages 4-14 — together with a fundraising program encompassing annual galas, food drives, the Run4Hope race, and Pay It Forward Day. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operation is service-delivery-driven and volunteer-coordinated. Distribution occurs through walk-in service at the Brampton headquarters, mobile kitchen routes into high-need neighborhoods, and home delivery for seniors.

Knights Table is funded entirely through charitable donations, corporate sponsorships, government grants, and fundraising events, with no fee-based revenue. Documented revenue streams include the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign (raising $101,296.15 in one campaign), a Performance Auto Group donation of $58,400 (plus recurring Blue Tag Events giving $100 per vehicle sold), Region of Peel and Government of Canada grants, and United Way of Peel Region support. Strategic partners include Tim Hortons, Performance Auto Group, CBC Toronto (Sounds of the Season), Feed Ontario, Food Banks Canada, and the Brampton Food Sharing Network. The organization is led by Executive Director Annie Bynoe and President Robert Tremblay, is governed by a Board of Directors, and is currently in the middle of a capital campaign (Building Dignity) tied to a new community facility at 73 Hale Road, Brampton, which broke ground on June 17, 2026.
