Nourish Food Program

One in two woman-led households in our region is struggling to put healthy food on the table. As a result, mothers are compromising the quality and quantity of food they eat, in order to provide their children with as much food as possible.

This is the alarming reality at the heart of Nourish, a YWCA program in partnership with GreenUP and Peterborough Public Health, which provides fresh food at affordable costs to families experiencing hunger.

The Nourish program offers monthly food boxes, community gardening, and a weekly market at Curve Lake First Nation, bringing high quality produce from local farms to the community at affordable prices. Thanks to the support of the community, we distribute about 260 food boxes each month to individuals and families around the Peterborough area.
