"I've learned how to cook healthier meals, tried and loved lots of new foods, and been given opportunities to better connect with my community." An important partnership The Natoaganeg CFC took root after community members in Eel Ground First Nation, a Mi'kmaq First Nation community of 977 people, came together to talk about how to address the serious issue of food insecurity, which affects 40 per cent of households in Eel Ground. With support from the Chief, Council, and community, and significant funding from Canadian Feed the Children, they created a space in 2016 and started running programs focused on increasing food access, food skills, and education and engagement opportunities. The partnership with Community Food Centres Canada will provide core funding and support to the CFC to build up programming and further increase community members' access to food, resources, and supports. The Natoaganeg CFC will also join a network of nine other Community Food Centres that are building health, belonging, and social justice through the power of food.
