Saugeen First Nation’s Food Bank & Community Garden Programs

Saugeen First Nation’s Food Bank & Community Garden Programs have recently been combined into one program with our main goal being to fill the gap here in Saugeen by providing a much-needed emergency food service to its community members as well as fresh, local produce to help promote food security within the community.

Currently, the Saugeen Food Bank serves approximately 141 households through our food bank program, many clients within the households consist of elders and children. It is our goal to be able to provide emergency food relief to our members when needed as well as grow and provide fresh produce to all community members through our Garden Program.

Saugeen Food Hub Project

There is a need for food security within Saugeen First Nation. This project will not only house the Foodbank and Community Gardens Programs that are currently in place, the larger space can also implement a number of additional services to our membership such as weekly soup kitchens, workshops and community gatherings.

We hope to bring back some of the cultural aspects of food security within the community with a greenhouse and potting shed, and fish and game processing facility.

Additionally, through this project we hope to create a new space within the community where we can teach, learn and gather together thus enhancing our well being and sense of community within Saugeen First Nation.
