Why Monthly Giving Matters
Food insecurity doesn’t take a break – and neither can we.
In one month, there were over two million visits to food banks across the country. By becoming a monthly donor, you provide sustainable support that allows Food Banks Canada to plan ahead, respond to urgent needs, and advocate for long-term solutions to food insecurity.
Your Monthly Gift Helps:
- Improve access to nutritious food in communities where it’s needed most
- Strengthen support for local food banks across the country
- Drive lasting change so less people must go hungry
With the support of our donors, Food Banks Canada is working to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow. In our latest HungerCount report, nearly 30% of food banks reported running out of food, while over half said they’re giving less to each client to stretch what they have — not because food banks aren’t going above and beyond, but because demand is growing faster than ever.i
Monthly donors make it possible for us to keep showing up — for food banks, households, and for a hunger-free future.
Your Impact as a Monthly Donor
When you give monthly, you show up again and again for people facing hard times.
“I myself was a single mother of 3 and had my struggles… I always gave where I could… Once I landed my dream job as a 911 dispatcher and was making a better wage, I signed up to be a monthly donor and have continued to do so for many years. I like getting updates as to how my donations help… What a great feeling. I’m glad to be a part of this program.”
