Our Story

We're on a mission to overcome the financial, educational, and systemic barriers to good food in Nunavut. Our vision is a Nunavut that has achieved food sovereignty.

Our Programs

Daily Community Meals

We serve, on average, well over 300 meals a day to our community. Everyone is welcome!

Our menus aim to be nutritious, filling, and delicious. We usually serve two hot meals a day: one for dine-in guests, and a soup with bannock for take-out.

Piruqtuviniit Food Boxes

Our Piruqtuviniit Food Boxes program is a weekly sale of produce and free-range eggs. Both boxes are available on a pay-what-you-can basis to ensure that all Iqalummiut have access to fresh produce and nutritious country food, regardless of income.

Inuit Women’s Circle

This program provides an uplifting and collaborative environment where Inuit women build cultural skills in a safe environment.
