Community Fridges HamOnt operates on the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

Food

Insecurity

Fewer people than you might expect have reliable and consistent access to food. Food insecurity can be experienced on a spectrum from mild, to moderate or intermittent, to severe. Financial hardship is the most common contributor, and belonging to a group that experiences systemic racism or discrimination presents a higher likelihood of food insecurity.
