Food fuels solidarity 

Across Canada, 1 in 4 people — nearly 10 million — struggle to put food on the table. In Montreal’s NDG neighbourhood and beyond, The Depot Community Food Centre brings people together to take action.

We believe nourishing food is a right, not a privilege. Through our programs and partnerships, we help ensure that our community has access to nourishing food, welcoming spaces, and opportunities to connect, learn, and lead change.

Our impact areas:

1️⃣ Responding to immediate needs – through Marché Dépôt, our dignified food bank; community meals; satellite markets; and our Healthy Snack program for youth.

2️⃣ Building community and long-term health – through community kitchens, after-school cooking workshops, and collective gardens that cultivate learning, confidence, and connection.

3️⃣ Tackling root causes of food insecurity – through advocacy, education, and our participant-led Social Justice Committee that gives voice to lived experience.

Founded in 1986 and recognized in 2018 as Quebec’s first Community Food Centre, The Depot works alongside local partners and community members to address both immediate needs and long-term solutions.

Thank you for being part of our circle of care and solidarity.
