Did you know that Daily Bread distributed 38 million pounds of food to member agencies from July 2023 to June 2024? That number is 10 million pounds higher than the previous year. As we've closed the books on our July 2023 to June 2024 fiscal year, the numbers reflect the severity of the city's food insecurity crisis. We've broken down five examples that highlight the gravity of the situation and the impact on Torontonians.

We're incredibly grateful to our community for joining us in the fight to end hunger 💛 #WeAreDailyBread #Volunteer #Donate #Community #FoodBank #EndHunger #FoodInsecurity #GiveBack #Toronto #TorontoNonProfit
