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 nearly 2.2M visits to these organizations in one month alone, according to our HungerCount 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.
“We want to express our deepest gratitude to Food Banks Canada for their unwavering support in the fight against hunger. We see firsthand the incredible difference their support makes in the lives of families struggling to put food on the table.”
