Our Team
We are a small not-for-profit of a few members dedicated to the empowerment of people that face many systemic barriers. We are part of and have a history of working with Black and Indigenous communities, especially those affected by poverty. Food is but one way we have decided to positively impact the members of our community, and by which we will empower those around us.
Mission
Our mission is to establish sustainable and holistic community-led food systems throughout Durham Region that serve to support those most affected by food insecurity. With community involvement in farming, gardening, food education and food sharing initiatives, we strive to improve access to fresh and healthy food. Our values in food sovereignty guide us to empower individuals and families to be able to feed themselves.
Our Values
We believe food can be a multifaceted value proposition. By harnessing the power of food, we can address many things: connection and sharing; feeding our community; basic elements of the local economy; and we can improve the state of our natural environment. At the heart of our company is food and its limitless ability to evoke change.
