About This Business

Durham Outlook for the Needy is a registered charity in downtown Oshawa operating St. Vincent Pallotti's Kitchen, described on its own site as Durham Region's only full-service, barrier-free soup kitchen. Founded in 1990, it moved into a fully accessible purpose-built facility at 227 Simcoe Street South in March 2022. The kitchen serves between 150 and 250 meals per day — roughly 55,000 to 65,000 meals a year — powered by nearly 500 volunteers a month; meal tickets are distributed free through partner non-profits and churches, and nobody is turned away. The building also hosts a Saturday food bank (patrons attend with a grocery list and volunteers fill bags), a second-hand store funding operations, and a food distribution programme supplying more than 50 organisations monthly.
