Call Directions Website Contact the organization

We relate to food security as an issue of justice rather than charity and believe access to good food is central to health and treated as a basic right.

The Local Community Food Centre in Stratford, Ontario, empowers those with barriers to accessing and benefiting from good healthy food by offering opportunities to cook, grow, share, and advocate for good food for everyone in our community. We build health, belonging, and social justice in our communities through the power of food. We empower people to advocate for themselves and assist them in building skills in the kitchen and garden that help alleviate their food insecurity. Our services are delivered in a way that is dignified and non-stigmatizing. While our emphasis is on helping our low-income neighbours, we welcome the whole community to access our services and programs to promote community connectedness and belonging.
