The Local Community Food Centre

“I know it’s a place I can count on.”

A place where community works together

In 2012, Right To Food partnered with the United Way of Perth-Huron to launch The Local Community Food Centre. It was one of two pilot sites developed to test the Community Food Centre model in new communities, and determine if the approach could be scaled nationally. What they discovered was that this model works!

Open doors and accessible low-cost or free programs create a dynamic and mixed community where people interact and learn from each other in an accepting and caring environment.

The Local Community Food Centre operates with a skeleton staff and over 150 dedicated volunteers. Partnership, collaboration, and cooperation with numerous agencies and service providers throughout strengthens the impact that we can all have by working together.
