Yesterday we were proud to attend the opening of Ontario’s fourth Metro’s Shared Kitchen at Kerr Street Mission in Oakville!

Feed Ontario and Metro Ontario supported Kerr Street Mission in upgrading their kitchen facilities, allowing the food bank to expand its culinary programming, education initiatives, and community outreach across Oakville. The kitchen will support prepared meals, youth and seniors programming, and partnerships with local groups that are all aimed at fostering connection and belonging through food.

Congratulations to Kerr Street Mission for bringing this amazing project to life and thank you to Metro for making initiatives like this possible across the province!

“No child should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. And yet, 1 in 3 food bank visitors in Ontario are children.”

In a new blog post to mark World Hunger Day, our CEO Carolyn Stewart writes about how many families often have no choice but to turn to food banks to make sure their kids have enough to eat, especially during the summer months when important supports like school breakfast programs disappear.

How can we end hunger in Ontario? As the province’s largest network of food banks, we use our real-time food bank use data to inform policy solutions that can address the root causes of poverty. Advocating for change that will make it possible for every Ontarian to afford their basic needs is essential as we work toward a future where no one needs to turn to a food bank to get by.

Over 1 million people in Ontario turn to food banks to get by, and we make sure the food banks in our network have the resources to meet the unique needs of their communities. While providing healthy food to those facing hunger today, we’re also working to end hunger in the future by advocating for change to address the root causes of poverty.

We’re driving change with our research. Every year we release our latest analysis in The Hunger Report, which highlights our real-time food bank use data and sheds light on the challenges people and families who need to turn to food banks in Ontario are facing. In the report, we draw insights from province-wide trends and share policy solutions that will help end the need for food banks in the future.

Hunger hurts our communities and our province, but we’re working to address poverty at its roots with our research and advocacy.

As the cost of living continues to rise with incomes not keeping pace, more and more Ontarians need to turn to food banks to get by. That’s why we’re working to address the root causes of hunger. To do this, we bring food bank visitors’ lived experiences, along with our real-time food bank use data and insights into policy solutions, to discussions with our elected representatives, so fewer people need to turn to food banks in the future.

As we work to end hunger in Ontario, we’re using our real-time food bank use data and sharing policy solutions to address the root causes of poverty. This is more important than ever, as a greater number of Ontarians struggle to get by and need to turn to a food bank for support.
