“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
“We are now seeing 2-income households needing the Food Bank because they can’t make ends meet.”
~Food Bank staff, New Brunswick

WHY FOOD BANKS CANADA?
Food Banks Canada is the leader in addressing food insecurity in Canada. Our mission is to provide national leadership to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow in collaboration with the food bank network from coast to coast. For over 40 years, food banks have been dedicated to helping people living in Canada living with food insecurity. Over 5,500 food banks and community organizations come together to serve our most vulnerable neighbours, who – this year – made over 2 million visits to these organizations in one month alone, according to our Hunger Count report. Since 2010, Food Banks Canada has shared over $1 billion in food supports and over $275 million in funding to help maximize collective impact and strengthen local capacity – while, backed by leading research, advocating for meaningful actions from governments to counter hunger and its root causes. Our vision is clear: create a Canada where no one goes hungry.
