Sultan Mahmud, Volunteer at the Harmony Community Food Program
Sultan is a senior and dedicated volunteer at the Harmony Community Food Centre, where he is a familiar and welcoming presence. He supports a range of community food programming, including the Good Food Market, seed-packing events in partnership with the Toronto Seed Library, garden activities, and community meals.
For Sultan, the program is not just a place to volunteer — it is a place to contribute, connect, and grow alongside others.
When asked about his hopes for the future, Sultan shared a simple but powerful vision for the community: “I dream of more programs for seniors,” and “My dream is to be involved in many programs in the future.” He also expressed a broader hope that South Riverdale Community Health continues to grow and expand its impact.
Sultan’s story reflects what many participants experience through our community food program: a space where people are not only supported, but also actively shaping the future of their community.
