"Thank you for building a better community through your support of the Better Food Co. Every meal purchased or gifted resulted in those Guelphites who are in need having access to nutritious, and delicious food."
Our meals are prepared using farm fresh produce grown in our own neighbourhood. We then partner with top local restaurants and chefs to create our 100% Made in Guelph meals.
Through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Hope House has access to an 8.4 acre plot of land in Guelph where we grow over 10,000 pounds of farm-fresh produce every year. All profits from our meals are invested into our community food work.
In 2020 alone, we shared over $500,000 of groceries through our community food market and with other food security agencies in Guelph. By purchasing a meal, you help make our Better Food System possible.
I believe that food insecurity is a major issue today and the root of many other social issues. I find it extremely distressing that in this country that has the ability to produce so much food, people go hungry.
One of my greatest learnings came from the year I spent in China, opening a café. There I saw first hand how little food was wasted. It made me acutely aware of the obscene amount of food we waste in Canada. Arguably the highest food waste per capita of any country in the world. We need to do better.
I am excited to share this meal with our community because any little thing I can do to help with our communities food insecurity issue I consider an honour.
For the cost of the takeout meal, you can purchase a meal today that supports The Better Food Company and our community work.
