Food banks are NOT the solution to food insecurity. Real solutions lie in policies that establish income equity, affordable housing & healthy communities. Ensuring the right to food isn't about giving people more food, it's about supporting their ability to access it themselves.

We agree completely. Food charity will never be a solution to food insecurity. While the Emergency Food Security Fund is supporting Canadians through the worst of COVID, inclusive public policy is the only way everyone will have a seat at the table. buff.ly/3iUQyfi
