This is how we Feed Ontario
Feed Ontario is the province’s largest collective of food banks and hunger-relief organizations. We deliver over 10 millions of pounds of food to our network of over 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations to serve the more than 1 million people who rely on food banks in Ontario.
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 distributed over 10 million pounds of food to our network last year. 57% of the food we distribute is fresh or frozen, and includes essential proteins like pork, dairy, and chicken.
Your donation, together with the help of our partnerships in food manufacturing and the transportation industry ensures food banks receive fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable foods to support their community.
As the need in Ontario continues to rise, every $1 you donate to Feed Ontario can provide the equivalent of 2 meals to someone in need.
Feed Change
Our real-time food bank use data is an essential component of our work and drives Feed Ontario’s advocacy to address the root causes of poverty and food insecurity.
Each year, Feed Ontario releases the Hunger Report, a look at the last year in food bank use alongside innovative analysis into what's driving the rising need for food banks in Ontario. The Hunger Report allows us to share evidence-based solutions with political decision-makers to work toward reducing the need for food banks in Ontario.
Your donation will help us continue to provide meaningful, evidence-based recommendations to call for changes that will support your neighbours, friends, and family who are struggling to get by.
Feed Possibility
As food bank use continues to experience unprecedented growth, food banks are facing tremendous pressure, and many are struggling to keep their doors open. Strengthening the resilience of the provincial food bank network is an important part of our work.
Food banks are able to undertake capacity building projects thanks to our Feeding Possibility! Grant Program. Donations help Feed Ontario offer financial support for projects, like expanding refrigerator and freezer space, delivery programs that help more people access the services, and creating community gardens that provide more fresh foods and a social opportunity, are all made possible through the program.
As food banks continue to be stretched beyond their capacity, your donation can help ensure they can help when people need them the most.
