The Daily Bread Food Bank (often called DBFB) is a special group in Canada. It's a charity, which means it helps people without making a profit. Its main goal is to stop hunger in Toronto, Ontario. They work with many people to make sure everyone has enough food. They also speak up for solutions to end poverty.
Daily Bread Food Bank started in 1983. It is one of the biggest food bank organizations in Canada. A food bank collects and gives out food to people who need it.
Daily Bread gives out fresh food, food that lasts a long time (like canned goods), and even cooked meals. They send this food to over 200 food programs. These programs are run by 129 different groups across Toronto. In 2023, people visited these food programs almost 3 million times to get help.
Understanding Hunger: The Who's Hungry Report
The Daily Bread Food Bank also does important research. They work with the North York Harvest Food Bank to publish a report called Who's Hungry. This report looks at how many people in Toronto don't have enough food. This problem is called food insecurity.
The Who's Hungry report comes out every year. It helps people understand how hunger and poverty are changing in Toronto. This information helps teach the public. It also encourages leaders to make new rules to help people.
