With more Canadians turning to food banks and community organizations to feed their families, and with fewer food donations coming in, these organizations need our help more than ever. So we’re investing $100 million to make sure they can keep helping people in these tough times.
With this funding, organizations across the country can buy and distribute the food they need. They can also hire temporary workers to make up for volunteer shortages. And they can buy personal protective equipment to keep themselves and their clients safe.
We’re doing everything we can to reach people and communities experiencing food insecurity, and we’re going to keep working with @FoodBanksCanada, @SalvationArmy, @SecondHarvestCA, @APlaceForFood, @BreakfastCanada, and others so they can too.
