About Us
Aangen is a Toronto-based nonprofit social enterprise driving sustainable change through community service, entrepreneurship and empowerment. For over 25 years, we’ve tackled food insecurity, unemployment and social isolation with hands-on, human-centred solutions.
We operate as a circular economy: every product or service we offer—from zero-waste cleaning to farm-to-table food programs—generates revenue that fuels our mission. This means 100% of all donated funds go directly to recipients, with no admin skim. Our administrative costs are covered entirely through our social enterprises.
We don’t just respond to urgent needs—we build systems that nourish, employ and uplift. Every initiative we launch is designed to create paying jobs, reduce waste and foster dignity through action.
Now, through our online community Impact Junkies on Mighty Networks, we’re inviting changemakers to co-create solutions, spark new collaborations and track real-time impact together.
The Circular Economy
At Aangen, impact is built into our business model.
We are a quadruple bottom line social enterprise—measuring success by People, Planet, Profit, and Purpose. Every product or service we offer—whether it’s cleaning contracts, catering, or food delivery—is designed to meet real community needs while creating paying jobs for individuals facing barriers to employment.
This is what powers our model:
-
Revenue from our enterprises funds our operations
-
100% of donated funds go directly to recipients—no admin skim
-
Every initiative is designed to reduce waste and shrink our environmental footprint
It’s a self-sustaining ecosystem. We earn, we employ, we uplift—and we reinvest every dollar into solutions that work.
Our Services
Aangen offers three core services to our local community— each designed to generate operational revenue, create paying jobs and meet real-world needs. Every booking helps us grow impact right here in Toronto.
1. Food Services
Aangen’s Food Services bring people together through creativity, care, and community impact. Our team offers hands-on culinary workshops that explore the art and science of food dehydration—helping participants preserve flavour, nutrition, and tradition. We also provide thoughtful catering for corporate meetings, weddings, and private gatherings, with menus built from fresh, high-quality ingredients and presented with elegance. Whether you’re learning in our kitchen or celebrating at your event, every experience supports meaningful community impact.
2. Cleaning Services
We provide professional deep cleaning services for homes and businesses across the city. Our team specializes in detailed sanitization, using eco-friendly products and meticulous practices to ensure your space is spotless, safe and healthy. Every job we take on helps fund programs and create employment for individuals facing barriers.
3.Employment Services
At Aangen, we believe meaningful work is the foundation of a healthy community. Supportive employment programs break the cycle of poverty by addressing its root challenges—limited access to healthcare, safe housing, nutritious food, and education.
When people are given opportunities to work with dignity and stability, the benefits ripple outward. Families thrive, crime rates drop, children are engaged in positive community programs, and local businesses gain new customers. Employment gives people purpose, and when individuals flourish, the entire community flourishes.
