Building Community Resilience through Food Sharing

Breaking down borders between people begins at home and in our neighbourhoods. This workshop explores the ways in which eating together can erode structures that isolate us and enable us to collectively nourish our communities. Sharing food brings people together and can be a great way to cut the costs of living while eating healthier and reducing waste. This hands-on, interactive workshop will consider the ways in which our economic system has us eating alone while learning practical tips on sharing food with roommates, community members, classmates, or even your neighbour. Participants will take home sample meal plans and grocery lists for their household, recipes for killer potluck dishes, and resources on sharing food with the broader community.
