Walmart Grant to Help Canadians Build Food Bank Network
USAgNet - 04/20/2018

Food Banks Canada announced a $2.8 million grant from the Walmart Foundation, investing in vital support of the Canadian food banking network. This grant is part of the Walmart Foundation's $15 million program to prevent food waste and support food banks.

This is the third grant from the Walmart Foundation, totaling more than $7.5 million, to support the work of Food Banks Canada. For more than 30 years, food banks across the country have worked to address food insecurity in Canadian households; however, keeping pace with the growing need for services continues to strain resources. With families in need as a first priority, technology and capacity are in jeopardy of lagging behind.

The announcement demonstrates a commitment by the Walmart Foundation to strengthen the food banking network's ability to adapt to the changing needs of Canadians experiencing food insecurity and the food banks who serve them.
