OUR VISION IS A CANADA WHERE NO ONE GOES HUNGRY


Our mission is to relieve hunger today, and prevent hunger tomorrow.

Food Banks Canada works tirelessly to advance our research and advocate for meaningful actions to counter hunger and its root causes, to eliminate the need for food banks once and for all.

While this work continues, we work coast to coast to coast to maximize the efforts of more than 5,100 community organizations, investing in, championing and supporting their important work, to ensure that anyone in need within Canada has access to nutritional food and the supports they need.

Our work makes an impact on the lives of our neighbours in communities across Canada

In 2023 we hit some great milestones!

Released our annual
HungerCount report
shining a light on food insecurity in Canada

Published annual policy recommendations to get to the root causes of food insecurity in Canada

28M lbs of food was received by the food bank network throughout programs

Over $25M in funding was distributed to support the food bank network and the clients they serve

There is much work still to be done, with almost 2 million people visiting food banks in March 2023 alone.

With increasing demand, the food bank network continues to rise to the occasion,
to ensure that everyone who needs access to food, can access it.

None of this would be possible without the support of our partners and donors.
