One of the ways we are making food accessible to everyone in our city is through our Emergency Food Hamper program. Up to 750 households a day access this program, which provides ten days of nutritious food for families and individuals.
A rising cost of living has contributed significantly to the demand for our services, and we are increasing our output in order to meet it. Since 2019 we have increase distribution of Emergency Food Hampers by 200 per cent.
In October of 2024 we introduced a new distribution model for our EFH program where clients are able to choose the items they receive in their hamper. This ensures that we are distributing food that meets the cultural and dietary needs of our clients.
