Your donation will help twice as many families this Spring

As food bank use continues to rise, we need your help more than ever to ensure that food banks can be there to support their community and ensure everyone has access to the fresh, healthy food they need.

Until midnight on May 15, Trifuno Sales Inc. and Fino Fine Foods will match all donations up to $10,000. This means every $1 will provide 4 meals to someone in need.

Your generosity will help us meet the rising pressures our network is facing and to keep food bank shelves throughout our province stocked for those who need it most.

If you would like assistance in making your donation, please contact us at (416) 656-4100 or email donate@feedontario.ca.

"I really believe that no one should ever have to worry about going hungry, and that everyone should have access to healthy food. I decided to donate when I read that with every dollar Feed Ontario can provide two meals to people and families in need. I think that’s amazing, and that the work that Feed Ontario does to bring food to our local communities across the province is so important. Because of Feed Ontario, my donation made a real difference in someone’s life.”

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 587,000 people each year. Learn more about becoming a partner.
