We talk about and tackle the root causes of food insecurity:
poverty, exclusion, injustice.
This is not just about food.
We confront the urgent challenge of food insecurity today and advocate for a dignified and equitable tomorrow.
More than good food
The Local Community Food Centre in Stratford, Ontario empowers individuals with barriers to accessing good, healthy food through cooking, growing, sharing, and advocating for food as a basic right. The center aims to alleviate poverty and food insecurity as justice issues and emphasizes community building, low-cost markets and community meals to increase access to good food. Additionally, the center works to empower individuals to challenge the conditions, policies and structures that maintain food insecurity.
