Strengthening food banks. Supporting communities. Working to end hunger.
Feed Ontario is the province’s largest collective of food banks. We make sure food banks across Ontario can meet the needs of their communities by providing consistent, large-scale deliveries of healthy food and by building their capacity through grant funding and training. Our work is to ensure people facing hunger have access to the food they need today, while also advocating for change on a provincial level to end poverty in the future.
We strengthen food banks
Feed Ontario is leading a collective of over 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations in Ontario. Each year, we deliver more than 16 million pounds of food to food banks throughout the province—keeping shelves stocked for over 1 million people in need.
Healthy Food
We provide fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable foods to food banks so they can be there for their communities. Find out about how we distribute food through our network and make nutritious food accessible across Ontario.
Strategic partnerships
Our strategic partnerships in the agricultural sector allow us to provide millions of pounds of essential proteins like beef, chicken, pork, and turkey, as well as staples like milk and eggs to food banks.
Support our work
You can help make sure food banks stay stocked for the people who need them most today by supporting our work. For every $1 donated, we can provide 2 meals to someone facing hunger.
We support communities
Feed Ontario strengthens the capacity of food banks in our network so they can meet the unique needs of their communities. We do this by empowering our network to continually meet the highest standards of client care, food safety, other sector best practices—while providing funding for essential infrastructure and groundbreaking projects.
Equipping food banks
We make sure food banks have the tools they need to be there for their communities. From funding innovative projects to offering training, we help our network as they provide food and important supports to those in need.
Food banks are essential
Our members support people in every region of the province and play an important role in their communities. Find out more about the need in your area and how food banks help with our Hunger in My Riding tool.

We work to end hunger
Feed Ontario is working to end hunger and poverty in the province. As a trusted leader, we use our real-time food bank use data to inform our recommendations on policy development at the provincial level.
Meaningful change
We know that food banks aren’t a long-term solution to hunger. That’s why we provide insights into food bank use trends and develop evidence-based policy recommendations—to address the root causes of poverty.
Taking Action
As part of our work toward a future without hunger, we meet with MPPs across all parties to discuss the urgent pressures food banks in the province are facing. Read about our latest Day of Action at Queen’s Park in our blog post.
