Steam Whistle x Daily Bread Holiday Food Drive

Help us Spread Holiday Cheer this Season

As the holiday season is approaching, there are many people living in a state of crisis in the city. “Last year there were 1.45 million food bank visits in Toronto, the highest number ever recorded in the city’s history.”

This year, we’re partnering with the Daily Bread Food Bank from now until the holidays to help tackle food insecurity. The Daily Bread Food Bank has seen a 5% increase compared to previous years with roughly 85% of their clients report not having enough food.

We know insufficient income, precarious employment, and unaffordable housing are the primary barriers to people achieving access to food. With food bank visits reaching unprecedented levels, it’s more important than ever to ensure everyone’s right to food is recognized.

Here’s how you can help:
