Tell your federal, provincial, or municipal leaders what we know for sure:

  • That food charity is not the answer to a problem rooted in income insufficiency.
  • That it is unacceptable that there are food insecure households in a country as rich as ours.
  • That we do not want federal funding of food banks, we want the government to explore, evaluate and implement sustainable income solutions to food insecurity.
