Community Programs

Do you want to share your knowledge about food? How to grow it? How to prepare it? Join us in creating a Global Village Garden

Community Resource Service Fresh Helpings program was developed to increase the amount of healthy fresh food options to clients using food banks, food cupboards, and meal programs.  

We are always looking for community partners to play the role of donor, sponsor or volunteer. We need farmers and businesses to partner with, sponsor to purchase, and volunteers to glean and help distribute.  This project is for the community, by the community and all are welcome to participate.  

The Brant Community Food Educator program offers educational sessions to the community in the form of presentations, food demonstrations, displays and cooking classes.  The sessions are led by trained volunteers. 

Session topics include: 

• healthy eating
• Canada's Food Guide
• cooking for one or two
• healthy eating on a budget
• label reading
• safe food handling at home
• healthy snacks
• vegetarian cooking
• low fat cooking
• cooking skills
