Food Security Campaign
5 Million Meals1 Child at a Time
As food prices skyrocket in Canada and around the world, we are all feeling the impact in our wallets. For children and families living in poverty this means that children are going to bed hungry. Families must choose between buying food and paying other bills. Parents choose between eating dinner or giving their portion to their children. In the countries where we work, we are hearing stories of increased hardship. And, our warehouses are empty. No child should go to bed hungry. You can help. We are asking you to help raise 5 million meals in 2022. One meal at a time. One child at a time. One family at a time.
