Nos programmes alimentaires
Les programmes alimentaires communautaires se sont concentrés sur l'amélioration de l'accès à la nourriture, les compétences alimentaires et le soutien de notre communauté délicieusement diversifiée.
We can collaborate with you to create a food program that meets the unique needs of your organisation
À propos de nos programmes alimentaires :
Kids cooking classes
We teach kids healthy and practical life skills in the kitchen! Children love to suggest favorites from home, using our range of using culturally appropriate ingredients.
If this program can add value your organisation, consult with us to see how we can accommodate your needs. Kids can come to our kitchen - or we can come to yours!
Community Food Centres
Inspired by Community Food Centres in Canada (https://cfccanada.ca/), Cultivating Community has expanded the public housing community garden model to provide a space for more people to be involved in community food activities at the Fitzroy Community Food Centre centre.
We host a range of programs including food distribution, cooking classes, community lunches, small food business incubation, food waste reduction initiatives, and gardening activities.
Baking Groups
Make this more generic about working with baking groups especially around wood fired ovens.
The group is for anyone interested in making or eating bread. Locals gather to share diverse bread-making methods and discover the secrets of sourdough. The loaves made are then sold at The Community Grocer Fitzroy.
If this program can add value your organisation, consult with us to see how we can accommodate your needs.

Pourquoi des programmes alimentaires ?
Notre enquête sur l'aide alimentaire (2020) menée dans le cadre de notre programme de colis d'aliments frais COVID-19 nous a dit que :
Les programmes alimentaires de renforcement des capacités communautaires améliorent l'accès à des aliments frais, sains et culturellement appropriés et sont un élément essentiel de la solution pour lutter contre l'insécurité alimentaire, la pauvreté et la faim.
Au cours des 20 dernières années, nous avons vu comment la cuisine
(à tout âge) apporte la joie de créer, un sentiment de confiance permettant la connexion avec les autres, la fierté de développer le potentiel humain, et une plus grande capacité à gérer ses budgets, à mieux manger et à améliorer son bien-être.
