Food

The Gleaners Food Bank supplies food hampers on an as needed/emergency basis for people within the Belleville, Sidney and Thurlow area. The services are available to persons or families whose food budget is being affected by unemployment, under employment, social assistance or awaiting social assistance, Employment Insurance benefits, illness, family crisis or disability. The agency also acts as a referral agency to community agencies in special situations where financial, money management or housing costs are affecting living standards. There are food drives and fundraising activities held throughout the year.

Established in 1989 The Community Development Council of Quinte (CDC) is a non-profit charitable organization that promotes the planning and provision of health and social services to ensure residents of the Quinte community are provided with the necessities of life and an opportunity to improve one's quality of life.

Council activities fall into three primary categories:

1. Social Planning and Research
2. Community Development
3. Community Building

The Community Development Council of Quinte (CDCQ) strives to improve the quality of life of individuals and families in our communities. Through this work, we operated six self-help ford programs in communities throughout Hastings County which include: The Good Baby Box, The Good Food Box and Singles Box, The Good Back Pack, Community Gardens, Community Kitchens, and Food for Thought.

The CDCQ conducts social planning and community development within the context of social justice. Through this work, we partner with over 40 agencies who play a variety of roles to address community need and improve access to services. We are conveners and facilities who serve as a non-threatening �meeting place� for discussion and resolution to community issues. We are committed to strengthening partnerships and collaboration within our communities.
