About
Promoting collaboration over competition.
Kitchen Connect
Endless Possibilities
As an initiative of the Victoria Community Food Hub Society with a mandate of "Good Food For All," we bring together commercial processing infrastructure at Kitchen Connect, connections with local farms, charities, and community partners via the South Island FarmHub, and a peer mentorship and training program that helps to provide work experience and employability skills to youth, newcomers, and folks experiencing barriers to employment through our Food Connections program.
Good Food for All
Our Mission
To promote a healthy and sustainable food system in the Capital Region.
Ensuring that our food system provides healthy food to the most vulnerable people in our community and works to increase their resources, food skills, and social connections for a healthier food secure future.
The Vision
Kitchen Connect will bring together facilities, equipment, training, and services to grow and strengthen the local food economy.
How We Are Different
The model strives to further innovative collaboration between food rescue initiatives, local farmers, and food processors.
What We Do
The Hub will aim to support marginalized populations, food processing entrepreneurs, farmers, social innovators, and community members through shared access to infrastructure, programming, and resources.
The Victoria Community Food Hub Society (VCFHS) was incorporated as a Charity in 2013.
An Integrated Hub
Kitchen Connect integrates with the South Island FarmHub and The Mustard Seed to offer training, incubation, kitchens, and storage.
