Food Assistance

The Sharing Place Food Centre provides food assistance through our Food Bank Program. The Food Bank provides a 4-day emergency supply of healthy food to families and individuals who identify as food insecure. We strive as an organization to maintain our health food standards for all food distributed. Please reference that we provide our members food baskets which often contain perishable and non-perishable food items, such as fresh produce we purchase to increase quantity and quality of the food available.

Orillia Community Kitchen

Community kitchens are community-based cooking programs where small groups of people, all contributing different skills, come together to prepare meals and take food home to their families. In a community kitchen every member contributes by preparing, and cooking food. The Sharing Place Food Centre has partnered with St. Paul’s Centre and the Simcoe Muskoka Health Unit to pilot the Orillia Community Kitchen project. In doing this we are bringing action the Orillia Food Council’s strategic initiative to Enhance Local Food Knowledge and Food Literacy in the Community. Workshops are free or low-cost for participants, with a strong emphasis on community skill sharing.

Food Recovery

An estimated $31 billion worth of food is wasted each year in Canada, causing food and food waste to become an important issue. Recovering excess food and preventing food waste is also an important issue for The Sharing Place Food Centre as it provides an excellent source of nutritious and safe food that helps to meet the need in the community and prevents surplus food from being wasted. Over the past years, we have partnered with farms, farmers, grocery retailers, food service providers and other businesses to recover perishable and non-perishable food to ensure that families and individuals struggling with hunger receive enough food to eat.
