ACT's vision is to work together for a food secure community where all residents have the resources to access and prepare healthy food. Our programs include: Collective Cooking which brings community members together to cook, learn new kitchen skills, and prepare take-home meals; Community Gardens where we provide land for community members to grow fresh produce for themselves and for emergency fo
od services; and the Good Food Program (Good Food Box and Good Food Market) that breaks down the economic, transportation, and knowledge barriers to eating well. You can easily order a Good Food Box with our online order form: https://hipaa.jotform.com/AntiHungerCoalition/orderGFB
In response to COVID-19, we've worked with community partners to offer the Emergency Food Hamper — a box of non-perishables and fresh produce that is home delivered for people who can't physically get to their food bank. As a 100% local grassroots charity, donations and fundraising are key to ensuring we can continue our critical community food security work. Our fundraisers include the Harvest Moon Potluck and Coldest Night of the Year. To donate to ACT, please go to: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/anti-hunger-coalition-timmins/
Partner initiatives include Farm to Fork Market Dollars, the Christmas Food Box project, and the Empty Bowls fundraiser. Volunteers help our programs and events thrive! We offer a wide variety of volunteer roles/positions — there's something for everyone! If you'd like to volunteer with us or have any questions about our programs and events, please contact us at [email protected] or 705-262-2499.
