The Daily Bread Food Bank secures nutritious food and distributes it to those who need it most, provides public education on the root causes and effects of poverty, and advocates on behalf of those in need in other critical areas of their lives. Daily Bread supplies 13 million pounds of emergency food to people across the Greater Toronto Area through over 1 million food bank visits annually. Children account for 35% of Daily Bread’s clients. Clients are also offered advocacy support in resolving issues that may accompany hunger, such as access to social benefits, housing, immigration, and employment.

By conducting community-based research and gathering statistics through an annual survey of food bank clients, Daily Bread also creates reports that increase public and political responsiveness and encourages dialogue about the issues of hunger and poverty.
