The North Grenville Community Meals Association was formed after conversations at the North Grenville Community Forum about food insecurity in our community. A taskforce was developed as a result of increases in repeat and new visitors to our local food banks, which ultimately became the North Grenville Community Meals Association. Our founding members were Cathy Ashby, Bruce Enloe, Emily Farrell, Cathy Gilpin, Jennifer Gow, and Willy Heidebrecht.
