Prior to COVID-19, food bank use had already increased by 5% compared to the previous year, with close to one million visits in the city of Toronto — the same level as the peak following the 2008-09 financial crisis.

Insufficient income, precarious employment, and unaffordable housing are the primary barriers to people achieving the right to food. By hosting a food or fundraising drive, you will make an immediate difference for individuals and families experiencing hunger across Toronto.

Advocating to government on behalf of the issues that are important to you is an additional step to finding solutions to end poverty and food insecurity. While things are returning to normal for so many across our city, for individuals experiencing food insecurity, the reality is very different. Help ensure that everyone has access to the nutritious food they need.
