For over three and a half decades, the Community Development Council of Quinte (CDC-Quinte) has been a pillar of hope and resilience in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. Founded in 1988, CDC-Quinte has tirelessly worked to address the growing challenges of food insecurity, ensuring that anyone and everyone has access to fresh, affordable, and nutritious food.

CDC-Quinte has relied on the unwavering support of community members, donors, and volunteers to deliver impactful programs and services. At the heart of CDC-Quinte’s mission is a commitment to equity and compassion. Recognizing that food insecurity affects 1 in 4 families in its catchment area, the organization has expanded its reach and impact through innovative programs and partnerships.

As CDC-Quinte celebrates its 35+ year anniversary, the organization reflects on its rich history of community service while looking toward a future of continued growth and innovation. This milestone marks not only decades of resilience but also a renewed commitment to combating food insecurity in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.

Through the years, CDC-Quinte’s achievements have been a testament to the power of community. The organization’s story is one of dedication, perseverance, and a deep belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious food and a chance for a brighter future.
