The Alex Community Food Centre

The Alex Community Food Centre is an important resource based out of Forest Lawn when it comes to food. Their vision is “a Canada where everyone has the means and knowledge necessary to access good, healthy food in a dignified way, and the ability and opportunity to be heard on the food issues that affect them”, and the “envision a robust, diverse food economy that sustains farmers and the land, and a social consensus that food is a key determinant of health and a public good”.

To move towards this vision, The Alex Community Food Centre offers a wide range of food-based programming, from shared meals to affordable groceries to gardening to cooking skills classes… and they also take on community projects like their recent asset mapping exercise supported by youth, and offer learning opportunities to build skills as advocates!

If you’re passionate about food and want a Calgary with no hunger, consider getting involved with them! Find out more about what they do here: https://thealexcfc.ca.
