The Qajuqturvik Food Centre is a registered charity that addresses food security and food sovereignty issues in Iqaluit, and the territory of Nunavut as a whole, with the primary goal of increasing healthy food access in the community. The Qajuqturvik Society, the body that oversees the running of the Food Centre, was first established in the mid-90s. Since 2009, operations were moved into a new building with a fully-equipped commercial kitchen, an 80-person dining room, public washrooms, and wheelchair access.

In 2015 in an effort to increase the breadth and quality of the programming provided a collaboration with Community Food Centres Canada began. In 2016 the Qajuqturvik Food Centre became a Good Food Organization and in 2019 is set to become a Community Food Centre and join a larger nationwide movement to address food insecurity.
