We’re proud to support Right To Food Canada and their call for action on food insecurity in Canada.

Today, nearly 10 million people—one in four—live in households that struggle to afford food. This includes workers, families with children, seniors, and people with disabilities

Right To Food’s 2026 pre-budget submission outlines practical, evidence-based solutions, shaped by input from more than 150 community organizations and Indigenous partners.

Key recommendations include:
• Setting national targets to cut food insecurity in half by 2030
• Strengthening and making permanent the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit
• Expanding the Canada Disability Benefit to lift people out of poverty
• Fund Indigenous food sovereignty through sustained, community-led investment

These are actionable steps that can make a real difference.

At Food for Life, we are grateful for the many ways our community comes together to share kindness, compassion, and support with neighbours across Halton and Hamilton.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating.

We’re excited to share a new Collaborative Kitchen Project between Food for Life, Neighbour to Neighbour Centre, and St. Matthew's House focused on supporting seniors experiencing food insecurity. This project has been made possible by Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Together, we’re helping make fresh, healthy food more accessible by providing produce that is peeled, chopped, portioned, and safely sealed. This makes it easier to store, prepare, and enjoy at home.

This partnership is rooted in dignity, accessibility, and community care, ensuring seniors and households in Hamilton can access nutritious food in ways that meet their needs.
