Almost one quarter (23%) of people in this country are living with food insecurity.
In 2024, food banks reached a somber new milestone with more than 2 million monthly visits, nearly double the rate seen only five short years ago. The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. People are skipping meals, taking on unsustainable debt, and stepping further away from a life of dignity.
Join our call for change this election.
This election is not just about politics; it is about the kind of country we want to be. It is about ensuring that every person in Canada has the opportunity to live with dignity.
Policies that make a difference
At Food Banks Canada, we believe that no one should go hungry. Yet, even in this country, almost 2 million people visited food banks in one month.
That’s why we work tirelessly to advocate for policy solutions that counter hunger and its root causes: poverty and low incomes. We want to eliminate the need for food banks one day, once and for all. Join us and help work toward our vision of a Canada where no one goes hungry.
