Understanding Food Insecurity
Sometimes, people don't have enough money to buy food. This is called "food insecurity." It means they might not know where their next meal will come from. The Daily Bread Food Bank works to solve this problem.
Research and Advocacy for Change
The Daily Bread Food Bank does more than just give out food. They also do important research. They work with another group called North York Harvest Food Bank. Together, they publish a report called Who's Hungry.
This yearly report looks at how many people in Toronto are struggling to get enough food. It also studies the reasons why people are food insecure. The report helps to teach everyone about these issues. It also encourages leaders to make new rules and plans to end poverty and hunger.
