Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month, an opportunity to understand why hunger is growing in communities across Ontario – because record high food bank use in Burlington is only part of the story.
At BFB, we see every day that the root causes of hunger are being driven by public policies that affect people and families’ ability to make ends meet. But by understanding how poverty and hunger are connected, we can take meaningful action that works towards lasting change.

Raising the Flag
September kicks off Hunger Action Month with a gathering of food security partners, organizations, community leaders and members to raise the flag for Burlington. Thank you for “Standing By” Burlington
We support 5660 people in Burlington at the food bank location alone, and 100s more at partnering Mini Markets. Thank you to all who joined us in amplifying a collective voice needed to highlight Collaboration in Action; We cannot do this alone.
With over 1 million people in Ontario using a food bank in the past year, it is so important to advocate for change together. Please help spread the word by liking our posts, sharing them and talking to your friends and family.
