Now more than ever, we need your help.

Although a sense of normalcy is slowly returning to our city, for the tens of thousands of individuals living in poverty, the reality is very different. No one in our city should face barriers to accessing fresh food.

This past year, there were almost 1.7 million food bank visits in Toronto, the highest number ever recorded in the city's history. 

Before the pandemic, Daily Bread food banks saw an average of 68,000 visits each month. Daily Bread member food banks now serve an average of more than 130,000 visits each month.

1 in 5 adults and 1 in 4 children live in poverty in Toronto. 31% of adult food bank clients reported going hungry at least once per week or more, and this was the case of 16% of children.

With food bank visits reaching unprecedented levels, it's more important than ever to ensure that our neighbours experiencing hunger can continue to access fresh, nutritious food.

That's why we're holding a fundraiser to support Daily Bread Food Bank. And that's why we need your help.

Did you know that after they've paid for housing, the average food bank client has $8.01 left per day? That's $8.01 to cover all other expenses – including food – making it impossible for them to stock the recommended supply of provisions for their family.

Click the "DONATE NOW" button to make a gift to Daily Bread and help support individuals and familes experiencing food insecurity in our city. This year, the MDC faculty team will not only match any MDC staff donations, dollar-for-dollar - our Director, Dr. Lang, will then match all faculty donations!! This means that your gift will make triple the impact to those in need.

Donations of $10 or more will automatically receive an electronic tax receipt.

Thank you all in advance for your generous support. Let's unite together and help make a difference.
