HOW YOU CAN HELP

To end food insecurity in Canada, we must all come to the table.

Making a food or financial donation. Organizing a fundraiser. Volunteering. There are several ways to make a difference. Because with 4.4 million people affected by food insecurity in this country, the need is far too great for any of us to remain on the sidelines.

What will be your impact of choice?

Monetary Gifts
Whether you’re looking to make a one-time donation, become a regular/monthly donor, or bestow a financial gift as a tribute to someone special, we make it easy for you to give as much as you want, the way you want.

Gifts That Go Beyond
If helping to end food insecurity is something that’s near and dear to your heart, there are additional ways you can make an impact—such as gifting stocks and securities, fundraising, or leaving a legacy gift.

The Why Behind What We Do
Why act, why now, and why us? Because we believe there is enough food for all Canadians—and if everyone decided to give what they were able to, we could realize the kind of future where no one goes hungry.
