Through a national network of more than 5,500 organizations, Food Banks Canada helps provide food and funding to communities while advancing long-term solutions to food insecurity.

Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver helps families build strength, stability, and independence through access to safe and affordable homeownership.

Since 1996, the organization has helped more than 75 families across the Lower Mainland build strength, stability, and independence through homeownership.

Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK) works with schools, volunteers, donors, and community partners to ensure children have access to nutritious lunches each school day.

For 35 years, BB4CK has helped address child hunger across Calgary, supporting students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 and ensuring children who need food support can receive it without a waitlist. 

Leftovers rescues surplus edible food and redirects it to communities, helping reduce food waste while improving access to meals.

Each year, Canada wastes more than 3.2 million tonnes of edible food, yet only about 4% is rescued and redistributed. Leftovers works to close that gap by ensuring good food is shared with communities rather than discarded. 

REACH Regina supports individuals and families experiencing food insecurity by improving access to food and related community resources.

Through urban farms, subsidized local produce markets, community kitchens, and other programs, FoodShare helps people access food on their own terms.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto helps families stay close to one another and to the care their child needs during serious illness. Since 1981, the organization has provided a supportive home away from home for families with seriously ill children, offering accommodation, hospital-based Family Rooms, school support, and family programs.

Dans la rue supports homeless and at-risk youth by meeting their immediate needs and helping them build the skills, confidence, and resources to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Founded in 1988, Dans la rue provides compassionate, community-supported services that address the full range of youth needs and help young people move away from homelessness and high-risk situations for the long term.

Le Chaînon supports women in difficulty by providing safe shelter, personalized guidance, and unconditional support without judgment. The organization provides safe shelter, personalized support, and experienced guidance to help women take steps toward greater personal and social independence.

Shelter Nova Scotia supports people in crisis and transition through residential, trustee, and outreach programs. The organization operates seven facilities in the Halifax Regional Municipality, including six overnight shelters and the Hub Resource Centre, providing a safe place to rest for 106 people each night and year-round support for hundreds more. Beyond shelter, Shelter Nova Scotia works with client and housing support staff, alongside mental health and addiction service partners, to support approximately 1,500 people each year.

Hope Blooms empowers youth through hands-on programs in urban agriculture, food security, social enterprise, STEM, mentorship, and the arts. Through organic gardens, a greenhouse, culinary and cultural arts programming, tutoring, Green Labs workshops, and youth-led social enterprise, participants build practical skills, confidence, and stronger community connections.
