KEY FINDINGS

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

One in ten people in Toronto are now relying on food banks, twice as many as the year prior.

Skyrocketing housing costs, food inflation, stagnating wages, and insufficient income supports are pushing more and more households into poverty. Food banks are at their breaking point. Food is a human right, yet governments are failing to ensure every person living in Canada can live a life of dignity.

Who’s Hungry 2023 is a call to action from a city in crisis. The report contains recommendations for each level of government, as well as actions the public can take to eliminate hunger in our communities.
