Food drives are an important source of donations and help ensure food bank shelves are filled when the need is high.

Our research shows that more than 310,000 people helped by food banks are school-age children.

We are encouraged by the diverse work of all types of organizations — knowing that we are truly making a difference for people in need.

In March 2015, 852,137 people received food from a food bank in Canada. More than one-third of those helped were children.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Cause Marketing continue to evolve and Food Banks Canada is in a privileged position to work with a wide range of organizations.

There is a growing need to support community food banks, and for this reason, egg farmers are a proud partner of Food Banks Canada.
