 In this episode, we are joined by Daily Bread Food Bank CEO Neil Hetherington and VP of Advocacy and Research Diane Dyson. We dive into the stark and harsh realities of a growing food security crisis in Canada. Daily Bread published its annual Who's Hungry Report on November 14, 2022 and the overwhelming message is we need urgent, immediate and effective government response in order to mitigate and reduce poverty. The report found the following:
  • Toronto food bank visits will exceed 2 million over the course of the 2022 calendar year.
  • Visits to Scarborough food banks are up 29% from 2021.
  • The number of seniors relying on food banks has risen from one in ten to one in six.
  • The average food bank user has $8.01 per day to spend after paying for housing.
  • One in five food bank users spend 100% of their income on housing and utilities.
