In June 2014, as part of the Foundation’s Banking of Change Program, a Fund was launched to support local food banks in their focus on healthy food procurement and addressing the root causes of hunger.
In response to our request for proposals, we received 94 applications from across Canada, and are pleased to announce our support for 12 organizations, including: North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society, NDG Food Depot, Salvation Army Chilliwack, Food Matters Manitoba, Flemingdon Park Community Food Bank, Project SHARE, Mission Services of Hamilton, Aylmer Food Centre, La Corbeille-Bordeaux Cartierville, Service d’éducation et de Sécurité Alimentaire de Mercier-Est, Food Bank Society of Whitehorse, and Agincourt Community Services Association.
