Tell me more about Community Food Centres Canada..!
The net profits raised from Chefs For Change will support Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC)’s work such as building healthy food access and empowering food programs in low-income communities across Canada. They also work to drive a growing movement of individuals and organizations, which includes 8 Community Food Centres and 140 Good Food Organizations, that are working towards a fair and equitable food system where everyone has access to healthy food.
What does CFCC offer and support?
- A multidimensional approach
- Healthy drop-in meals
- Affordable produce markets
- Community gardens and kitchens
- Education and peer advocacy programs offered under one roof
- Work with farmers, chefs, restaurateurs, home cooks, backyard gardeners, health professionals, market-goers, teachers, media, sponsors and funders- proving that good food can build community, enhance physical and mental health, nurture the planet and be a transformative force in low-income communities
Chefs for Change had a sister event back in October, Restaurants for Change. Chefs for change is similar to that event in that it calls upon Canadians to eat with a purpose! They want you to experience the convening of chefs in a unique collaborative setting creating delicious food. This event also gives the space and opportunity to have a conversation about how to address the issues facing our food system!
