The Community Health Centres of Northumberland is pleased to announce it has received a grant of $10,000 from Community Food Centres Canada’s Good Food Access Fund. The grant will enable us to support more then 150 families, couples and singles and provide a weekly meal to two emergency shelters in Northumberland . Funding is provided in part by the Government of Canada’s Local Food Infrastructure Fund, as part of the Food Policy for Canada. The Fund aims to strengthen food systems and facilitate access to safe and nutritious food for at-risk populations.
The Good Food Access Fund is helping to provide emergency relief during this time of national crisis to our most vulnerable neighbours, including children, single parents, Indigenous people, seniors, and those on disability supports. The Fund will ensure that the 183 Good Food Organizations and 13 Community Food Centres working on the front lines in 175 communities across Canada can quickly purchase food and supplies for those who need it most.
