Organization

Food Banks Canada represents and supports the food banking community in Canada, and we are committed to developing strong relationships with our membership as we work together towards our dual mission of meeting the short-term need for food and finding long-term solutions to hunger.

Under the governance of our Board of Directors, we work in collaboration with our Members (the provincial food bank associations), Affiliate Member food banks who belong to the provincial associations, and Member Council to share expertise and build a stronger and more effective organization.
