A cartoon grocery bag with a worried face and a price tag hangs in the foreground against a teal background with text about a youth-led mini-documentary on food injustice.

Help us bring Ottawa&#39;s youth food stories to the screen! Today, eating well feels&nbsp;almost impossible.&nbsp;&nbsp;For many youth, rising food costs, limited access to nutritious local food, and food insecurity shape what&#39;s on our plates every day.&nbsp; The Ottawa Food Futures youth council is creating &#39;Youth Gotta Eat&#39; , an entirely youth-led mini-documentary showcasing how Ottawa&#39;s youth are navigating food challenges in the city. To bring this project to life, we&#39;re raising funds to support production, youth leadership, filming, editing, and community screenings. Every contribution helps ensure young people can share their experiences in their own words.&nbsp; What is the Food Futures Youth Council?&nbsp;Food Futures is a team of dynamic, passionate change makers representing Algonquin/Ottawa&rsquo;s youth voice for food and farming issues. Together we develop and apply our skills and gifts to build a vibrant food future we can be proud of- one that centers social justice, equitable access, sustainable practices and community engagement!&nbsp; <a fr-original-style="" href="https://justfood.ca/food-futures-youth-council/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Learn More Here</a>
