Kim lives on a quiet street and has an energetic fourteen-year-old son. During the summer, their door is open to any of her son’s friends, and the kids spend the day shooting hoops at the park. To make sure everyone has something to eat, Kim always puts out snacks.

But Kim started to notice that maybe those snacks were more important for some of the kids, like Ben. Since his dad got laid off, Kim knew his family had been going through a rough patch, but when Ben asked her for an extra snack to bring home for his little sister, she could tell things had gotten more difficult now that school was out.

During the year, Ben and his family could rely on the school’s breakfast program, but without that support his parents were likely struggling to put enough food on the table.

Unfortunately, families across the province are in situations just like Ben’s—whether they’re going through a rough patch or their wages just aren’t enough to buy the food they need—leaving parents no choice but to turn to a food bank to get by.

Your generosity means that we can keep food bank shelves stocked for the families that need it most, so kids like Ben and his sister have the food they need to thrive all year long.

How does every dollar equal two meals?

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 1 million people each year. Learn more about becoming a partner.
