Parkdale Food Centre The Parkdale Food Centre is a community food centre serving Neighbours in Hintonburg, Mechanicsville

The Parkdale Food Centre offers food support to residents of the community who are experiencing food insecurity. We are challenging the notion that people living in poverty should be grateful for food cast-offs. We're offering sit-down community meals, cooking workshops, and more food options. We are working hard to create a more welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where everyone is valued and respected. Forming strong community partnerships is a vital component of the work we do as we move forward.

Food access starts long before someone visits a food bank.

Infrastructure and government support, investment and development matters. It is not the pricing alone. It’s where food is located. If the closest grocery store is kilometers away, if you don’t own a car. If public transit takes an hour.. Health food becomes much harder to access. This is what many people experience in food desserts. Access isn’t only about having food available it’s about being able to reach it.

Sometimes, improving food access starts just around the corner

This Thanksgiving, a little extra can make a big difference. Our Meal Into Two campaign is all about coming together to help support families in our community.

Join us in spreading kindness and sharing the warmth of a Thanksgiving meal. Think about that: Your $25 can become 50$ your $50 can become a $100, together we can turn $15,000 into $30,000 worth of wraparound support for our Neighbours who need it the most. So this thanksgiving, let’s make sure more families have something to be thankful for.

Get involved by October 18th and help make this Thanksgiving a little brighter for families in need, click here to support; https://give-can.keela.co/right-to-food-day

Right to Food Day is happening tomorrow!!

Join us at Parkdale Public Market on October 3rd from 11:00am - 2:00pm as we come together to celebrate, food community and our shared right to access good food with dignity.

There will be something for everyone! Enjoy free food and share a meal with your neighbours. Take in live music courtesy of Moonfruits! Tour Mino'Weesini, our Grocery Program, and learn more about how it works!

Come connect with neighbours and hear their stories, and how those stories inform the Food Charter and what that could mean for Ottawa making it a more food-secure city.

Right to Food Day is an opportunity to listen, learn, celebrate and imagine what our city could look like when everyone has meaningful access to the food they need. Come for the food, stay for the music, stories and conversation! Everyone is welcome!

Howdy Neighbours!

We know long weekends and holidays can bring up a lot, especially if you're navigating food insecurity. Sometimes, the stress is not just about what will be on your table, but also wondering how you can connect, feel welcomed and share a meal with others.

With that in mind, on Thursday October 8th we will be extending our community meal to provide as many Neighbours as we can with the chance to come together, enjoy some good food and spend time together in community.

Whether you're joining us for a meal, bring a Neighbour along or looking for a place to connect you're welcome here.

Come as you are on Thursday October 8th, from 12:00pm - 3:00pm, there's a place for you at our table.
