In one way or another, everyone relies on others for support. Take food banks, which support communities by helping everyone to get the nourishment they need. Facing a record level of demand — nearly 2.2 million visits each month — food banks need support, too. Food Banks Canada is there to help get more food into the food bank network, strengthen it to meet high levels of need, and advocate for systemic changes that promise to turn the tide on food insecurity. 

Since 2010, Food Banks Canada has shared over $1 billion in food support to Canada’s food bank network, and over $275 million in funding for priority areas such as food security in the North, emergency responses, and food bank capacity. 

Food Banks Canada, in turn, needs support from our generous and committed partners, who share our mission of relieving hunger today and preventing hunger tomorrow. It’s because we’re not going it alone that we can make a meaningful impact together and envision a Canada where nobody goes hungry. 

 
“We’re so thankful to the organizations that have stepped forward to help support our neighbours in need through our mission,” says Kirstin Beardsley, CEO of Food Banks Canada. “Thank you for championing food banks and the important work they do. During these uncertain times when so many people are struggling to get by, our partnerships are even more vital than ever.”
