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
In our latest HungerCount report, 21% of food banks reported running out of food, while more than 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.”
