Breaking Barriers to Food Access — Advocacy in Action with XP Eats

This week, our own O'Neil McLean took a bold step forward in addressing a critical issue facing our community: a driver was recently turned away from a local food bank, despite having the proper proxy documentation signed through our app by a client unable to travel. In response, O'Neil has successfully arranged a strategic meeting with a Scarborough MPP, and has extended invitations to the Mayor of Toronto and the Mayor of Scarborough. The goal? To urge the Daily Bread Food Bank to update its stance and accept digital proxy documentation — a small change that could have a massive impact for thousands of people who rely on XP Eats for their food access. This isn't just about one driver or one food bank. It’s about the future of inclusive, tech-enabled hunger relief. Our mobile app allows vulnerable individuals — including seniors, those with disabilities, and parents with limited mobility — to: ✅ Sign a digital proxy form ✅ Order food directly from pantries or partner restaurants ✅ Receive meals and groceries delivered directly to their door Through partnerships with local restaurants, we also rescue surplus food, offering it at low or no cost — especially vital when pantries are closed or have reached capacity. This is innovation meeting compassion, and it's exactly what food justice should look like in 2025. We’re proud to lead this conversation — not just in Scarborough, but across the GTA — and invite others to join us in making food access equitable for all. 👉 Whether you’re a policymaker, a restaurant owner, or a community organization, now is the time to get involved. XP Eats — Delivering food and hope to those in need.
