Meal Exchange (MX) at 401 Richmond is a registered charity which provides sustainable and innovative meals to students in need. MX gets post-secondary students involved by supporting soup kitchens, gardens, farms, and food banks to promote healthy and sustainable choices. MX holds fundraising events and have raised over $1.8million worth of food donations to campuses across Canada. The goal is to promote sustainability in the campus food purchasing industry that greatly promotes inequality and pollution in the food system. Students are driving this change with the hopes of motivating other and encouraging the use of innovative, ethical, and sustainable food practices. Especially in a big city like Toronto, students are very disconnected and uninformed as to where their food comes from and what it takes to get to their plates, MX hopes to change that.
