“In the past, people turned to food banks in times of job loss or due to declining wages, but more recently Canadians are telling us that they are running out of money for food due to the rise in housing, gasoline, energy and consumption. food costs. This is an indication that we need to find new, longer-term solutions to tackle hunger and food insecurity,” adds Beardsley.
