More than 1 million people in Ontario turned to food banks for help in the last year, visiting more than 8 million times. This means that people facing hunger across the province need more support than before, accessing food bank services more often than in previous years just to get by.<\/p>\n
We know that hunger is a problem that can’t be solved overnight, but with your help we’re making strides. The incredible dedication and generosity of donors and partners over the past year shows that communities come together in the face of growing need and can make a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead the report\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tWhen food bank visits went up, we built solutions together\t<\/h2>\n\t
We’re uniquely positioned to facilitate partnerships and build stronger, more collaborative solutions to the challenges our members face. We’re driving progress by building partnerships through initiatives like our Farm to Food Program, increasing food access, expanding our network’s reach in the North, and working collaboratively to play an essential role in providing emergency food support when the unexpected happens.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tWhen food bank visits went up, our partners responded\t<\/h2>\n\t
Our corporate and retail partners play an essential role in helping us deliver food and support where it’s needed most across Ontario. From building community kitchens to expanding food recovery, culinary training opportunities, and food recovery initiatives to employee volunteer and fundraising events, to providing food and essential equipment to food banks, our corporate partners are making an incredible difference.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tWhen food bank visits went up, people made the difference\t<\/h2>\n\t
At a time when rising costs are being felt by everyone, our individual donors showed what generosity truly looks like by stepping up to support their neighbours when it mattered most. Our donors helped us provide people and families facing hunger with over 2 million meals and foundations exemplified their commitment through ongoing partnerships, driving lasting impact and strengthening Ontario’s communities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\tA message from our CEO\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<\/figure>\n\tThe need for food banks has grown in Ontario, and food banks are being stretched past their limits, but with your help we’re making strides.
