A community built around
food.
The Table Community Food Centre
The Table is a Community Food Centre located in Perth, Ontario that works to bring people together to grow, cook, learn, and advocate for good food. Through community meals in Perth and Smiths Falls, the youth program, gardening program, advocacy program and pop-up ups, as well as food access programs such as the Good Food Bank and The Fresh Food Box, The Table ensures that its mission and dedication to addressing gaps in food security and fostering a welcoming community space is upheld.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
​
The reciprocal relationships which Indigenous peoples hold with Land, Water and all that lives
have been embedded with respect since time out of mind. The Table Community Food Centre
acknowledges, with gratitude, the Omàmìwinini, also known as the Anishinaabeg Algonquin
people, as the original stewards of the Land and Water where we now operate.
We recognize that food insecurity, among many systemic injustices, is encountered by
Indigenous peoples at a high rate and we work with intention to challenge these barriers. For
those of us who are settlers on Turtle Island, we commit to listening to and learning from the
Omàmìwinini, weaving reconciliation and reparation into our everyday work, and building a
collaborative future rooted in food sovereignty for all. These commitments, including this Land
Acknowledgement, are benefited by consistent reflection and revision, and remain a work in
progress.
