MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA, December 11, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — AAC is proud to spotlight three cornerstone programs: St. Mary’s Food Bank, St. Joseph Community Kitchen and the Meals on Wheels program. These initiatives are part of the charity’s mission to alleviate hunger and foster community well-being.
St. Mary’s Food Bank plays a critical role in addressing food insecurity by distributing millions of pounds of groceries and meals each year. Partnering with local supermarkets, food manufacturers and businesses, the food bank collects, sorts and delivers essential supplies to those in need. Volunteers and staff ensure that these resources reach families and individuals facing uncertainty. Based on the latest data from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Income Survey, 8.7 million Canadians, including 2.1 million children, lived in food-insecure households in 2023. St. Mary’s Food Bank is committed to reducing this number by providing reliable access to nutritious food.
