Canadian Foodgrains Bank – “A Christian Response to Hunger”
Emergency Food Assistance
Accessing food becomes a major challenge when fleeing for safety, living through drought, or trying to recover from a powerful cyclone. Emergency food and nutrition assistance from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank provides families with needed support to survive and recover from the hardships caused by circumstances like these.
Long-term responses to hunger
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank also carries out long-term development work, focussing on supporting families’ efforts to provide food for themselves. This includes helping rebuild livelihoods after a crisis, promoting sustainable farming practices, and working with communities to strengthen their ability to respond to natural disasters and a changing climate.
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank also works with families to help improve their nutrition, paying extra attention to pregnant and nursing mothers and young children through support for nutrition, hygiene and sanitation, and maternal health education programs.
Engaging Canadians and governments
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank engages Canadians in working together to end global hunger, informing actions such as giving, learning, praying and advocating, as well as engaging decision makers in government to improve and enact policies needed to end world hunger.
