Welcome to the Home Food Community Kitchen

There are currently thousands of Albertan families and children who live in underprivileged circumstances and regularly experience food insecurity. Although it is well-established that what we eat directly affects our health, low-income individuals are still more likely to resort to cheaper, highly processed foods, often due to financial constraints and a lack of knowledge on how to cook affordable, healthier meals. This significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, several forms of cancer, and a myriad of other health conditions.

To address food insecurity in our community and on campus, our team initiated our university’s first service-oriented and youth-led cooking club—the Home Food Community Kitchen. We are open to and excited for further collaborations to address food insecurity in our local community and beyond.
