Can Food Banks Empower Communities and Promote Dignity?

In this episode of Prevention Over Prescription with Dr. K, we're joined by Beth from the Parkdale Food Centre to explore how food security can be reimagined through dignity, community empowerment, and innovation. Beth shares how Parkdale’s grocery-style food program prioritizes choice, how youth-led social justice initiatives are shaping the next generation, and why volunteers are essential to the Centre’s impact. Learn how Parkdale challenges traditional food bank models, advocates for systemic change, and builds a healthier, more connected community through culturally relevant, high-quality food and grassroots support.
