Helping a generous community share its food resources
Join us as we partner with CBC for their annual celebration of community and kindness in support of families in London and Area, Make the Season Kind (formerly known as Sounds of the Season).
Food banks need your help now more than ever. The high cost of living is driving more and more individuals and families to our doors. You can be a lifeline to families experiencing hunger this holiday season.
The Business Cares Food Drive recognizes that taking care of business means taking care of people
Food Security?
People get confused by the terms “food insecurity” and “food security.” Food insecurity is about helping hungry families - something Londoners have generously supported. Food security is about creating a community where food is affordable, available and accessible to all who live here, regardless of their circumstances. For the last four years, the London Food Bank has placed its emphasis on food security and the ability of all Londoners to afford the food that they require.
In the video series below, Glen Pearson discusses various aspects of food security in our community.

It took decades to reach one million visits in a month, and it has now taken half a decade to double that.
