COBS Bread Oshawa North community support for Durham Alliance Outreach

Thank You, COBS Bread Oshawa North

Community partnerships play an important role in Durham Alliance Outreach’s food-access work. We are grateful to COBS Bread Oshawa North for their ongoing support of DAO and the community members we serve.

Fresh Bread Donated Every Week

Each week, COBS Bread Oshawa North continues to donate bread and baked goods to DAO Market. Our volunteers collect these donations so they can be made available to individuals and families accessing food support in Durham Region.

COBS Bread Oshawa North began supporting our food program when it operated as DAO Pantry, and that weekly support has continued as the program evolved into DAO Market in 2026.

Supporting DAO Market

DAO Market is Durham Region’s only 2SLGBTQIA+ food bank and is open to anyone in need. Working with Feed the Need in Durham, the Market uses a choice-based model that gives community members more opportunity to select food that works for their household.

Regular community donations like those from COBS Bread Oshawa North help increase the variety available to people shopping at the Market. Redirecting safe, usable surplus food can also help keep good food from going to waste.

We sincerely thank COBS Bread Oshawa North for continuing to show up for our community week after week.

Support a Local Business That Gives Back

We encourage DAO supporters to recognize businesses that invest in their communities. You can follow COBS Bread Oshawa North on Facebook.
