2025 Impact Awards Winner: Rabba Fine Foods

At the heart of Rabba Fine Foods lies a deep and enduring commitment to community—a value embodied in its Rabba Roots program, which enhances the lives of vulnerable individuals by supporting access to food, health and emergency services across the Greater Toronto Area. 

From food rescue to shelter support and healthcare partnerships, Rabba’s efforts show what it means to be “Here for You”—not just in-store, but in every aspect of community life. 

Along with its food rescue partnership to recover and redistribute up to 25,000 pounds of food annually, it works to empower the homeless through dignity and connection. 

For nine consecutive years, it has supported The Good Shepherd Ministries with meals, clothing and hygiene kits. 

Rabba also supports critical emergency and intensive care services across the region through its 30-year partnership with Trillium Health Partners Foundation. 

As part of its deep commitment to the community, Rabba Roots provides support to dozens of grassroots organizations, like schools and women’s shelters. 

Whether through fundraising, food donations, or in-kind assistance, Rabba remains deeply woven into the fabric of its neighbourhoods. 

The organization demonstrates the true potential of a community-minded business with its focus on building healthier, more resilient communities.
