With the cost of food, housing, and nearly all essentials on the rise, food banks are becoming increasingly vital for families struggling to make ends meet.
New research by Food Banks Canada shows 43 per cent of Canadians feel financially worse off compared to last year, and 18 per cent are facing food insecurity.
Food Banks Canada has graded each Canadian province and territory on efforts to reduce poverty.
