why we do this

Simply, we want to help solve the alarming issue of food insecurity in Canada. We do this by tapping into existing goodwill with our partners to source food and manufacturing opportunities and turn them into good nutritious food for those who need it most.

but first - did you know?

Food Banks Canada distributes the food that Canadians donate to their network of 4750 hunger relief organizations across Canada.  But this doesn’t cover everything they need. In fact, before COVID-19, all of the food banks affiliated with Food Banks Canada used their cash donations to purchase almost $30 million dollars of food from retailers and wholesalers.  
Today in 2026, the pandemic and the inflationary impact on the cost of food and housing, has been devastating for millions of Canadians and the visits to food banks have significantly increased.
