Will you help us set a table for those in need this Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Your support for Feed Ontario will help ensure that food banks across Ontario can continue to provide healthy meals to families across Ontario this Thanksgiving.
Thanks to the generosity of our matching partners, Turkey Famers of Ontario every dollar donated will be matched (up to $10,000), effectively doubling the impact of your donation. This means you can help twice as many families.
With every $1 you donate, you can provide 4 meals to someone in need.
Note: If you’re experiencing any technical difficulty donating through our website, please try again after some time or reach out to us at donate@feedontario.ca.

Your donation will help send nutritious food to more than 1,200 hunger-relief organizations across the province, on an equitable basis, throughout the year. Your generosity also provides food banks with resources and training to build capacity and better serve their communities, and supports Ontario's food bank network to develop lasting solutions to hunger in partnership with government, industry, and local communities.
For every $1 you donate, 95 cents goes directly to programs and services, and 5 cents helps Feed Ontario ensure our efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability through fundraising and administration.

For every one dollar donated, Feed Ontario can provide the equivalent of two meals. As a province-wide organization Feed Ontario can use economies of scale and bulk purchasing to secure lower rates on our food costs. We further supplement this through the strong partnerships we have developed with Ontario's food and transportation sectors, which provide us with discounted, at-cost, and donated services and food.
We calculate the cost of a meal by looking at operating costs and how much food is donated to Feed Ontario. Operating expenses include costs to collect, store, and transport food to our member food banks.
We divide the total number of pounds of food donated by the cost of operating and delivering donations to food banks across the province.
Our partners help to provide meals to more than 587,000 people each year. Learn more about becoming a partner.
