What’s new
Record-breaking new data released by Feed Ontario finds that over 1 million people visited a food bank in the province last year.
“When we released record-breaking data last year, we thought that was the high-water mark. But food bank use has only continued to climb as more Ontarians find themselves struggling to make ends meet,” said Carolyn Stewart, CEO of Feed Ontario. “When will our governments say enough is enough and take meaningful action against food insecurity and poverty?”

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 7 millions pounds of food to help 1,200 hunger-relief organizations provide food to more than 800,000 Ontarians.
