Almost 1 in 4
people in Canada are now facing food insecurity.
Over 1.9 million
visits to food banks in one month alone — 35% more than the previous year.
More than 50% of us
are worried we won’t be able to feed our families.
Between rising food costs and soaring demand, Canada’s food banks need
our help to be there for everyone in need.
“Five years ago, we opened our doors to 45 households. A year ago, we averaged 250;
this year, close to five hundred, and sometimes it’s closer to six. It’s scary.”
~Bob Mandel, Founder, Avenue Road Food Bank, Toronto
Your support helps Food Banks Canada source more healthy, nutritious food at the best possible price and quickly get it to food bank partners across the country—filling their shelves as demand soars.
Food Banks Canada grants provide the tools food banks need—from freezers to refrigerated trucks to expanded warehouse space—so they can best serve their communities.
Your support helps us drive for real, lasting change, advocating for long-term policy solutions to overcome the root causes of food insecurity in Canada.
“We’re busier than we’ve ever been, feeding more families than ever. We were really worried about whether we were going to survive as a food bank. But the funding and leadership from Food Banks Canada and other partners has come together to keep us on good footing to serve our community.”
~ Angela Murray, The Sussex Sharing Club, Sussex, NB
“My heart is so happy and my children are smiling, because of what you provided to us today. I had many worries and I worry I do not have enough for my family. Now you have taken some of my worry away. Thank you.”
