Our programs provide the tools, knowledge, and support to build food security in our neighbourhood and community. We work to increase awareness of food justice, create opportunities for dignified food access, and provide space for social connection and empowerment.
We collaborate with our many community partners, networks, and funders, to offer food support and collective advocacy. In the kitchen, in the market, and in the community, our diverse and dedicated volunteers are the backbone of our programs, activities, events, and meals. Whether you have something to share, or there’s something you want to learn, we are always cooking up new dishes and new ideas.
We invite you to read the reports and publications that highlight the work of Kiwassa’s Food Programs
