Parkdale Food Centre

Parkdale Food Centre The Parkdale Food Centre is a community food centre serving Neighbours in Hintonburg, Mechanicsville

The Parkdale Food Centre offers food support to residents of the community who are experiencing food insecurity. We are challenging the notion that people living in poverty should be grateful for food cast-offs. We're offering sit-down community meals, cooking workshops, and more food options. We are working hard to create a more welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where everyone is valued and respected. Forming strong community partnerships is a vital component of the work we do as we move forward.

It doesn’t take much for food insecurity to become a reality. Most people are closer than they think.

09/06/2026

Food insecurity is not about food availability. It is about affordability and income stability.

In August, as part of our Nourishing Connections intergenerational cooking workshops Maryam Abdollahi joined us to share about Iranian culture, traditions, and delicious cuisine!

From the simple pistachio to dishes like Tahchin (saffron rice with eggs, yogurt and rosewater), Beef and lamb kebab, and Kuku Sabzi (Persian herb-based frittata), a taste of Iranian culture brightened our summer and left us feeling richer in knowledge and strengthened in community.

Thank you so much to Maryam and everyone who joined us for the evening.
Keep an eye out for future Nourishing Connections events every month

A heartfelt thank you to the Ottawa Food Bank for choosing us as a 2025 Core fund recipient!

We were grateful to receive this funding, and it allowed us to strengthen and improve our Grocery Services at Mino'Weesini. This funding has helped us to enhance the way we provide access to food and essential grocery items, providing more diverse, culturally relevant food that can be selected by Neighbours. It also helped us to rework Mino'Weesini to be a more welcoming, respectful and support environment for our Neighbours.

We are incredibly grateful for OFB's investment in our work, and for their commitment to supporting food agencies in Ottawa working together to strengthen food security across our community. This support makes a meaningful difference and helps us continue to support building a stronger, more nourished community.
