Food security is about more than access to groceries. It is about dignity, health, connection, and the ability for women and families to feel supported in their daily lives. Today, we’re happy to share the launch of the Food Security section of our Client Portal , making it easier for community members to learn about, access, and take part in the food programs and supports available at Working Women Community Centre. Food security means having consistent access to enough safe and nutritious food to support an active, healthy life. With rising costs and ongoing economic pressures, this can be a challenge for many women and families. Our Food Security programming offers practical supports alongside opportunities to learn, share, and connect—meeting people where they are and supporting both immediate and longer‑term needs. What You’ll Find on the Food Security Page The new Food Security pages bring together information about programs and activities in one easy‑to‑navigate space. Whether someone is looking for hands‑on workshops, community‑based activities, or support during a difficult time, the portal helps make options clear and accessible. Activities featured include: Community Kitchen Workshops Welcoming, hands‑on workshops that help build food knowledge and practical cooking skills, while also creating space for conversation, learning, and connection. The Oriole Community Garden A shared community garden that supports access to fresh food and brings people together through collective care, learning, and growing. Food Ambassadors and Seasonal Initiatives Programs that encourage food literacy, confidence, and awareness of food resources, while responding to seasonal needs in the community. Support for Immediate Food Concerns The Food Security program can help individuals and families who are facing urgent food challenges connect with appropriate assistance and supports. All Food Security programs and activities are free of charge , and participants are welcome to attend activities regardless of where they live. Any specific eligibility requirements are clearly outlined on the portal. Designed to Be Clear and Accessible The Client Portal is designed with ease of access in mind. It provides straightforward information about how to register, who to contact, and what to expect when participating in activities. By bringing resources together in one place, the portal helps reduce barriers and supports people in finding what works best for them. We also recognize that food security is closely connected to well‑being, stability, and community. Many of our food‑related activities intentionally create welcoming spaces where women and families can share experiences, learn from one another, and build supportive relationships. Our Commitment We exist to help women and their families begin the next chapter of their lives in Toronto. Over the last 50 years, we have supported over 500,000 women and their families through a full range of services ranging from education, to settlement, language, food security and beyond. By supporting women, we help strengthen their capacity to be active participants and contributors within their communities. Because when women thrive, their communities rise. When communities rise, society flourishes. The launch of the Food Security pages reflects this commitment in action—sharing information openly, supporting choice, and ensuring food‑related supports are visible and accessible when they are needed. Explore the Food Security Portal We invite clients, partners, and community members to explore the Food Security section of our Client Portal , learn more about available programs, and take part in activities that support health, dignity, and connection.  👉 Visit the Food Security page here: https://clientportal.workingwomencc.org/food-security
