Food Banks Canada

Relieve hunger today.
Prevent hunger tomorrow.

Until food banks are no longer needed, the work of Food Banks Canada continues. From coast to coast to coast, our teams support Canada’s network of food banks and Provincial partners to ensure everyone in Canada has the nutrition they need to reach their potential.

From food delivery logistics, to hunger research and advocating for systemic change, we work to grow local food bank capacity, maximize the collective impact of the food bank network, and advocate for policy changes at all levels of government.
