VISIT OUR MARKETPLACE

We're creating a Better Food System in Guelph.

To us, a Better Food System is one that is building community through better food. Here's how our project works:

1. You Purchase our Locally Sourced and Healthy Meals

Our meals are prepared using produce grown on our farm and other local farms as much as possible. We then partner with local restaurants and chefs to create our 100% Made in Guelph meals.

2. 100% of your Sale Supports our Food Programs

Through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Hope House has access to an 8.4 acre plot of land in Guelph where we grow over 10,000 pounds of farm-fresh produce every year. All profits from our meals are invested into our community food work.

3. We Build Community by Sharing Food

In 2023 alone, we shared over $667,000 of groceries through our community food market and with other food security agencies in Guelph. By purchasing a meal, you help make our Better Food System possible.

Better Community.

For the same effort as takeout, you can help sustain a food system where healthy food is shared with those who need it. We have a responsibility to share the food that our farm shares with us.

January 2025's meal created by

Chef Annie

We are so happy to have Chef Annie back! She owns The Nguyen’s Restaurant and is well known in the community for her kind heart and amazing food.

Recently she said, "I believe food is the greatest connection to everyone. Food is everything. I know how it feels to not have enough food. To be hungry and not be able to afford anything good. I also know about hope and having people in my life to help lift me up. 

For me, knowing that Hope House is delivering this purpose is exactly why I want to be part of this project. It’s great to serve and know that my work gets to give hope to our community. It is such a great gift and opportunity to teach my children the importance of giving back and working together to strengthen our community. My goal is to teach my children the importance of hard work, good values and how to share hope."

We can choose to use our money for good.

We've worked hard for our money. Let's have it work hard for us by supporting socially conscious community work.

Support our Better Food System.

For the cost of the takeout meal, you can purchase a meal today that supports The Better Food Company and our community work.

Volunteer

We recognize that as an individual, it's hard to know where or how to contribute to a community food system. Volunteer on the farm or in the kitchen and join us in building a better food system, today.
