AC’s culinary students produced a total of 950 meals for the Ottawa Food Bank that will feed vulnerable people in the Ottawa community who are seeking emergency food assistance.
Algonquin College culinary students participate in Ottawa Food Bank meal production.
La Tablée des Chefs’ mission is to feed and educate — fighting food insecurity and educating young people about their food autonomy as budding culinary experts. Since its start in 2002, the organization has distributed more than 13 million cooked meals and educated more than 45,000 youth through its various programs.
The Solidarity Kitchen – Next Generation Edition project mobilizes more than 500 culinary students each year. Since its beginning, the project has made it possible for culinary students to prepare and distribute more than 1.5 million meals to Quebec and Ontario food banks.
The meals prepared by students for the Ottawa Food Bank will make a dent in fighting food insecurity and has equipped them with knowledge and skills about food autonomy that they can take with them into the working world.
