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.

Food Insecurity
Food sovereignty is the goal. We believe in a world where everyone has access to the food of their choosing – suited to their preferences, nutrient-rich, and culturally appropriate.
Community fridges are not the solution to food insecurity, but a tool we can use to share what we have and look after one another.
