Empowering Families with Dignity by Providing Access to Food and Essentials, Combatting Hunger and Food Insecurity.
The People's Market addresses this crisis by offering a dignified, grocery-store-like experience for families in need. Unlike traditional food banks, our clients use shopping carts and aisles to select fresh and frozen items that meet their unique needs, empowering them to make choices for their families with dignity.

Every night, thousands of women and children in Canada face homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We are on a mission to change that.
While Sakeenah functions at a national level, our head office and The People’s Market operate out of land that is part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.
Sakeenah believes that while a land acknowledgement is the first step, we also understand that land acknowledgements alone are not sufficient to redress the harm caused by centuries of land theft, forced displacement and ongoing acts of settler colonialism. We recognize that this work is ongoing and complex, and we are dedicated to doing our part to create a better future for all.
