Karonhi:io Food Security Program
Indigenous program
The objectives of the Karonhi:io Food security Program (FSP) are to establish, increase, and ensure the access of food aid to the Montreal Indigenous community. In order to meet the needs of community members, the NFCM has developed a plan that aims to increase sustainability and productivity by assessing the unique needs of the individuals within our community, providing substantial and nutritional food baskets, offering emotional support by active listening and honest communication through outreach work and increasing awareness of relevant resources and provide appropriate referrals.
Deliveries are provided only for Indigenous Elders, people with reduced mobility or accessibility problems, and families with small children. Deliveries can only be made on the island of Montreal.
Food basket are allotted every 2 weeks, and we also have emergency food available.
Note that traditional food is available on occasions.
