Get access to food that is
without economic or social barriers
The overarching goal of the Community Development Council of Quinte (CDC Quinte) is to be a recognizable and visible presence in the community that identifies urgent and emerging social issues, while providing programs and services that positively impact the quality of life and health of individuals.
Our two-pronged approach focuses on program delivery and social planning. The root of this work is dedicated to supporting Food Security.
We believe that abundant access to nourishing food is essential for building a healthy thriving community. We also believe that food is a common thread that binds us. With this in mind, our dedication to community development is through a Food First approach.
Our goal is to improve access to community food, while also using food to unite and build community.
