Organizer
Centre Wellington Mobile Market
Centre Wellington Mobile Market is a food rescue/security organization renting the kitchen at Melville United Church in Fergus. We rescue food from distributors that would otherwise go to the landfill and repurpose it into individually packaged meals and grocery boxes for households in Centre Wellington struggling with food insecurity.
On average, we support 60 households each week that cannot secure enough nutritious meals to last them through the week. We have two methods for our clients to access these meals; we both deliver meals to clients and offer pop-up markets in neighbourhoods where we have found the most significant demand throughout Centre Wellington. Now, we are the second largest food support in CW - next to the Food Bank.
