Come on Canada, let’s go!
Canada will hold a federal election soon
Will you join other Canadians and raise your voice to help build a strong international aid program? International aid -also known as official development assistance (ODA) makes a real impact for people living in poverty around the world.
Many Foodgrains Bank supporters view their contribution to ending hunger as an expression of their Christian faith. They appreciate Canada’s strong track record of working to end global hunger, including over 40 years of support for Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
Are you still wondering what ODA is all about? Check out this 3-minute video that gives you an intro to how international aid can change lives around the world:
We want to make sure all candidates this election know how much ODA is valued by Canadian voters.
