According to the report from Feed Ontario, 40% of food banks have reduced the amount of food they provide amid an unprecedented demand for their services.
Neil Hetherington, CEO of Daily Bread Food Bank, reported a 10% reduction in food distributed due to overwhelming demand, meaning clients will receive less essential food support.
The report highlights that for the first time, two in five food bank users had never accessed food bank services before, indicating changing demographics and need.
Statistics show food bank visits in Ontario surpassed one million, reflecting a 25% increase from the previous year, underscoring the urgent need for food assistance.
