Too many Canadians are being left behind

Poverty and food insecurity affect millions of Canadians. And people often feel shame and stigma when they ask for help. Individuals who can’t afford healthy food suffer more from physical and mental health problems. As inequality grows, our communities are becoming more isolated and fragmented. That affects us all. We need to take action.

A movement for change

We’re proving that building dignified Community Food Centres and programs can significantly improve the health and well-being of low-income individuals, and help communities thrive.

A lasting impact on people and communities

Through our partnerships, programs, and advocacy, we seek to increase access to healthy food in low-income communities, build food skills, increase belonging, and mobilise our communities to push for change.
