Flemingdon Park Ministry

What Flemingdon Park Ministry does

Flemingdon Park Ministry (FPM) is a non-profit community ministry founded in 1984 and incorporated as a designated ministry within the Anglican Diocese of Toronto. Headquartered at 10 Gateway Blvd in North York, Ontario, FPM serves the Flemingdon Park neighborhood through a portfolio of free social, educational, and food-security programs delivered in Dari, Pashto, Spanish, and English. Its offerings include daily drop-in services, English conversation classes, Quran and Bible study, women's skills workshops (sewing, knitting, jewelry making), senior wellness and exercise programs, haircuts, a clothing bank, bread giveaways, and weekly community and senior food distributions at Angela James Arena. The organization also operates the Common Table, an urban farm launched in 2017 on land gifted by Church of Our Saviour Don Mills, which grows 25+ culturally diverse crops using organic and regenerative practices and supplies produce to families and seniors in the community.

FPM's service model is anchored in physical, walk-in access and partnership-driven outreach rather than a formal sales motion. The organization reaches residents through a distributed footprint spanning five locations: the Gateway Blvd headquarters, the Common Table farm at 1 Laurentide Drive, Deauville Lane Seniors' Building, Angela James Arena for food distributions, and Valley Park Middle School for community dinners. It also runs an annual Back-to-School program, a holiday Abundance Program serving selected families, and community dinners that combine food distribution with fellowship. The reported impact metrics include approximately 150,000 meals served yearly through the farm, 1,500+ residents assisted annually, 130 families receiving weekly food hampers, and 100+ weekly drop-ins.

The organization's revenue model is funded primarily through individual donations (collected via the CanadaHelps platform and in-person) and grants from faith-based and community foundations including the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Anglican Diocese of Toronto, Second Harvest, Faithworks, Anglican Foundation of Canada, and the Diocese of Toronto Foundation. FPM employs 11 staff led by Executive Director Maria Reolin, with no disclosed revenue figures. A nascent earned-income channel was introduced in 2026 via $100-per-seat Common Table Farm Experience events, though the vast majority of services remain free of charge to community members.
