About the program

As the needs of food banks across Ontario have increased, Feed Ontario in partnership with The Food Bank of Waterloo Region launched Feed Collaboration – a new, collaborative approach to ensuring food bank shelves stay stocked. Using a local-first model, food bank organizations at the local, regional, and provincial level work together to grow food resources for the network.

By leveraging the capacity and skills at each level of the network, this new, collaborative approach allows new and existing food donors to support both their local food bank and food banks across the province in one easy donation! Donations will first fulfill the needs of the local food bank. Additional resources will then be directed to communities in need across Ontario, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

“We’re proud to partner with Feed Ontario on innovative initiatives such as Feed Collaboration. This program facilitates surplus food donations from producers and distributors that are redistributed to help food banks across southwestern Ontario feed communities. When food assistance providers and industry partners work together, we can create efficiencies and solutions that drive change in our collective desire to end hunger in Ontario."
