What’s new
Earlier this year, Feed Ontario revealed that more than 1 million Ontarians had to turn to a food bank. The 2024 Hunger Report explores the drivers of this record high demand, why how we measure poverty needs to change, and dispels common misconceptions about food bank use.
Food banks in every corner of Ontario are experiencing double digit increases as fewer people are able to donate, resulting in food banks cutting services as the demand outpaces the resources available.
WHAT WE DO
How We Feed Ontario
Feed Ontario represents a network of more than 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations across Ontario. Through our network, we deliver millions of pounds of food across Ontario, serving more than 1 million people each year. While we work to strengthen and grow the capacity of the provincial food bank network, to realize our vision of an Ontario where everyone is food secure, Feed Ontario continues to advocate for evidence-based programs and solutions to make ending hunger and poverty a priority in our province.

We are distributing food to food banks across Ontario.
Feed Ontario's food programs work in partnership with Ontario's agricultural, food, and grocery sectors to ensure food banks are stocked with the fresh, healthy food they need to support their communities. Last year, we distributed over 10 million pounds of food to help 1,200 hunger-relief organizations provide food to more than 1 million Ontarians.
