Nuestros programas alimenticios
Los programas de alimentos comunitarios se enfocaron en aumentar el acceso a los alimentos, las habilidades alimentarias y el apoyo a nuestra comunidad deliciosamente diversa.
We can collaborate with you to create a food program that meets the unique needs of your organisation
Acerca de nuestros programas de alimentación:
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.

¿Por qué los programas de alimentación?
Nuestra Encuesta de ayuda alimentaria (2020) realizada en nuestro Programa de paquetes de alimentos frescos COVID-19 nos dijo que:
Los programas alimentarios de creación de capacidad comunitaria mejoran el acceso a alimentos frescos, saludables y culturalmente apropiados y son una parte vital de la solución para combatir la inseguridad alimentaria, la pobreza y el hambre.
Durante los últimos 20 años, hemos visto cómo cocinar
(en todas las edades) trae la alegría de la creación, un sentido de confianza que permite la conexión con los demás, orgullo por desarrollar el potencial humano y una mayor capacidad para administrar presupuestos, comer mejor y mejorar el bienestar.
