Food Support
The City and County of Peterborough are home to a wide range of programs and services related to food. Most have the goal of addressing the inadequate access to healthy food of people with low incomes in our community. This is also known as food insecurity.
Food banks, free meals, cooking classes, community gardens, and workshops are available in the City and County of Peterborough. Food banks may have different requirements such as identification needed or the number of times you can visit each month. Please contact them directly or visit their website for details.
The printable food calendar does not change much from month to month. The calendar will only be updated if/when something changes. The specific month will no longer be included. A “revised” date will be listed below the link to show when a new version has been posted.
