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 to coast. For over 40 years, food banks have been dedicated to helping people living in Canada with food insecurity.
Over 5,500 food banks and community organizations come together to serve our most vulnerable neighbours, who — this year — made 2.35 million visits to these organizations in one month alone, according to our HungerCount report.
Since 2010, Food Banks Canada has shared over $1.2 billion in food supports and over $292 million in funding to help strengthen the food bank network to meet demand and improve access where it’s needed most—while, backed by leading research, advocating for meaningful actions from governments to counter hunger and its root causes.
Our vision is clear: to create a Canada where no one goes hungry.
