We believe that access to food is a basic human right, not a privilege. No one should go hungry.

Food bank clients in Toronto are facing severe food insecurity.

• 85% of survey respondents reported that they did not always have enough food to eat even after accessing food banks.
• 43% of survey respondents went hungry at least once per week, and this was the case for 22% of children.

With the arrival of COVID-19, food bank visits continue to climb significantly, increasing by 22% in June to a staggering 51% in August compared to the previous year.

You can help ensure everyone’s right to food is realized this holiday season. Thank you for being a lifeline to the most vulnerable members of our communities.
