Your Giving in 2025 

Your giving in 2025 helped 17,969 people across Canada make it through rising costs and uncertainty.

But each month, more families reach out for help. In 2025 alone, demand rose by 7%, with almost 295 monthly applicants, driven by higher housing costs, job insecurity, and the growing number of newcomers starting over in Canada.

As 2026 approaches, we expect these pressures to deepen. End this year by giving local, so families can begin the next one with the essentials they need to stay housed, fed, and on the path toward independence.

The Need is Growing

Across Canada, families are being pushed beyond their limits. The cost of food, rent, and daily living has never been higher — and more people than ever are turning to their community just to get by.

💸 99.9% increase in food bank visits since 2019 - the highest in Canadian history. (Food Banks Canada)

🍞 43% of recent immigrants say it’s very difficult to meet financial needs — making housing even harder to afford. (Statistics Canada)

🏠 45% of Canadians report struggling to cover daily expenses. (Statistics Canada)
