FOOD BANKS ARE UNDER WINTER PRESSURE.
The need
has DOUBLED*
Food bank visits have
DOUBLED since 2019,
reaching more than
2.2 million visits
in a single month.
Winter adds more pressure
Rising heating costs and
winter necessities force
families already living
on the edge to make
impossible choices.
Food banks overwhelmed
23%* of food banks
ran out of food
before demand
was met last year.
“We were seeing clients line up
outside our doors, hours before
we opened. People, like Susan
and her two children, would wait
in the snow to make sure
she could get what she needed
before we ran out.”

“Winter is one of the hardest times for families facing hunger, especially as food and heating costs rise. I believe we should care for one another – and for all of society, food should be a human right. But food banks can’t do it alone, that is why I give.
