Learn about the issues
Our annual Hunger Report presents food bank use data from the previous year, explores the drivers that are leading to record high need for food bank services, and provides recommendations to ensure Ontario has a strong social safety net, quality jobs, and an affordable cost of living.
Feed Ontario also publishes research, including a Cost of Poverty report that shows poverty costs Ontario billions of dollars every year.
Explore how hunger impacts your community
Statistics like "over 1 million people used a food bank" seem almost too big to think about, but behind that number are countless stories of our neighbours struggling to make ends meet. Visit the stories section of our website to learn more and use the Hunger in My Riding tool to explore how hunger impacts your community.
Spend a month in someone else's shoes
No one should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and putting food on the table or paying for heat or buying their child a new winter coat, yet hundreds of thousands of people find themselves at this fork in the road each month.
To help illustrate the devastating choices that are facing individuals and families in our province, Fork in the Road, an interactive digital experience, walks users through a month of decisions including navigating where to live and who they may have to live with, what type of transportation they will rely on, choosing which bills they can afford to paid each month, and what, if any, little pleasures may be in the budget. Could you make it through the month?
