Zero Food Waste is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to promoting sustainability and reducing food waste in our community. Our mission isto create a more resilient and environmentally conscious Kingston by connecting local food businesses, residents, and organizations to minimize waste and maximize resources. Kingston food recovery efforts involve collecting surplus food from local businesses and redistributing it to those in need, ensuring that no food goes to waste. We are currently looking for volunteer drivers with a license to go on "food delivery runs" from local Kingston restaurants to assigned charities. (Distances are max 1 hour)  Join us in our commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable community, where every bite counts!!

Galilee Centre is a relatively small organization with an operating budget of about $0.75 million, with land, buildings and a scenic waterfront which is the envy of the neighbourhood! We define our catchment area as the “Eastern Ontario Triangle” described by the line of a) Pembroke-Ottawa-Cornwall, b) Cornwall-Brockville Kingston, and c) Kingston-Pembroke, and thereby includes those municipalities such as Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Almonte/Mississippi Mills and, of course, Galilee’s hometown of Arnprior among its client areas. Galilee has a 40-year history, and is a not-for-profit corporation with a charitable designation with CRA. We are governed by a small 8-10 member Policy Board which is accountable to the Membership of Galilee Centre and accountable for operational results managed by an Executive Director. As a retreat organization, Galilee Centre offers programs, services and facilities that are open to all, whether of a faith orientation (churched or un-churched), people of no-faith and people of various ethnic, cultural or religious backgrounds, in an open, Christian-oriented manner.
