Community Project: Parkdale Food Centre (Sold Out!)
Jan 17, 2020 |08:30AM-12:30PM
The Parkdale Food Centre was awarded “Community Builder of the Year” in the “Poverty to Possibility” Category by the United Way Ottawa.
The mission of the Parkdale Food Centre 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.
Volunteers will work together to “Fill the Freezer” at the Parkdale Food Cupboard. The “Fill the Freezer” program allows community members and groups to work together to create nutritious foods for those in need. It is a great way to learn about community health, nutrition, and social change. At this Community Project, students will be working together to make baked goods and soups. Please wear closed-toed shoes for this activity.
Registration is mandatory for this event. Space is limited as there is a 10-person maximum.
