Yesterday, the federal government announced $1B in funding over the next five years for a national school food program. Congratulations to our partners at @BreakfastCanada and all those who have led advocacy efforts aimed at establishing such a vital initiative. (1/2)
Alarming numbers from @foodbankscanada Hunger Count 2023 report: 78.5% increase in food bank visits since 2019, almost 2 million food bank visits in March & 1/3 of those relying on food banks are children. Details on @CP24Breakfast

It’s Giving Tuesday eve! Tomorrow, Nov 30th, @SkipTheDishes will donate $1 for every order place on its network to Food Banks Canada. Yum! In addition, they will match all donations up to $100,000, which will provide 200,000 meals to our neighbours in need across the country.
We understand that expiry dates are sometimes hard to find, but receiving five items ranging from cheese sauce to jello mixes from the 1980s is a discovery that can't be overlooked. Please check the dates before you donate! #foodbank #vancouver
