Welcome to Parkdale Food Centre. Challenging food insecurity is at the forefront of our work.
Our vision is an Ottawa where everyone has the means and opportunity to live a healthy, connected, and fulfilling life.
Parkdale Food Centre is a registered charity staffed by a small team of dedicated staff, supported by a large base of energetic volunteers and a network of community partners.
Our mission is to build healthier, more connected Neighbours and neighbourhoods through good food, innovative community partnerships, and by challenging inequalities in order to create lasting impacts.
In addition to a grocery program that provides healthy food to over 1,600 individuals each month, our regular programming includes cooking workshops, social justice workshops for schools, leadership and employment training for youth, and peer advocacy training.
