Our Services & Programs
Together, we can better our community.
Central Food Network (CFN) is a registered charity formed on the premise that when we work together, we can do more to help people.
We are constantly working collaboratively and creatively to reach out to food & heat resources and share with others that need it. We are also working tirelessly on new programming to strengthen our community. Our food banks serve individuals in Highlands East and eastern parts of Dysart and we share & exchange food with other food banks & agencies across Haliburton County and Hastings Highlands. Heat Bank serves all of Haliburton County. |

Hunger needs Action
In March 2024, there were over 2 million visits to food banks in Canada — the highest number in history — representing a 6 per cent increase compared to 2023, and a 90 per cent increase compared to 2019. In addition, there are signs that the food-banking system is reaching its absolute limit.
Please read Food Bank Canada's HungerCount report and join the call for a Groceries & Essentials Benefit now. |
