Mission Statement
Our mission 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.
About This Cause
Parkdale Food Centre is a registered not-for profit charity staffed by a small team of dedicated staff, supported by a large base of energetic volunteers and a network of community partners who share our vision of an Ottawa where everyone has the means and opportunity to live a healthy, connected, and fulfilling life. PFC’s mission 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. Co-located in the Somerset West Community Health Centre, the Parkdale Food Centre has become an inclusive community hub providing broad services and support to our neighbours in a welcoming supportive environment. In addition to a food bank that provides healthy food to 800 individuals each month, PFC regular programming includes cooking workshops, social justice workshops for schools, city-wide food recovery coordination, and entrepreneurial training for youth. PFC also hosts the Ottawa Community Food Partnership and coordinates its Cooking for a Cause project.
