Healthy Food Policy
Minden Community Food Centre recognizes that a healthy diet supports better outcomes for people in need. We strive to guide families to an improved quality of life by increasing access to nutritious food.
We acknowledge that all members of our community have a right to sustenance and personal dignity.
We recognize the power of building community through food and commit to working towards making healthy eating accessible to all.
We welcome newcomers and strive to share foods that reflect the diversity of our community.
We commit to sharing foods that are fresh as often as possible and to adhering to food safety standards set by Kawartha Pineridge Health unit.
We are conscious of the impact that our food choices and organization have on the environment.
We encourage donated foods consistent with these guidelines in mind.
History of the Minden Community Food Centre
The Minden Community Food Centre has been in existence for approximately 33 years. For years, the food bank moved from a church basement and retail spaces until we moved to 24 Newcastle Street, Minden, and began operating in the Fall of 2014
