Daily Bread Food Bank is a non-profit, charitable organization that is fighting to end hunger in our communities. Last year, over 950,000 people across the GTA relied on food banks. Daily Bread serves the majority of these people through neighbourhood food banks and meal programs in its 160 member agencies. Daily Bread Food Bank fights hunger by providing food and resources for hungry people; mobilizing greater community support and creating social change through research, education and advocacy.
