Kawartha Lakes Food Source

Kawartha Lakes Food Source is the largest food security organization in the City of Kawartha Lakes (CKL) and a not-for-profit, registered charity that operates a distribution centre which supplies food and personal care items to member organizations that provide support to individuals in need. We support 9 member food banks in CKL, representing over 2,500 community members who rely on our services.  

We procure, sort, store, and distribute food and other household essentials while also advocating for food security and educating the community on poverty through programming and community outreach. While the backbone of the organization continues to be food banking, over time we have developed and maintained innovative programs such as the Family Cooking Project, Open Gardens, Summer Outreach Lunch Program, and the Lindsay Community Food Market, aimed at reducing barriers to food access in CKL.
