A tale of two trends: Key insights from HungerCount 2021

The impacts of the pandemic and rapidly rising costs of living are impacting Canadians from coast to coast. This webinar will give some insights from Food Banks Canada’s HungerCount 2021, our signature research publication that gives a point in time snapshot of food bank use nationwide. The study gives some insights into two key trends in regards to “who” is accessing food banks nationwide, and how these trends are reflective of larger systemic issues. The webinar will also give our top line recommendations about what needs to change to help achieve our vision of a Canada where no one goes hungry.

Speaker:

Richard Matern, Director of Research, Food Banks Canada
