What is food assistance?

This video explains how emergency food assistance from organizations like the Canadian Foodgrains Bank makes a difference for people around the world.

Providing food assistance in times of crisis is one of the biggest parts of our work. We are also proud of the role we have played in improving public policies that contribute to ending global hunger. For example, the Foodgrains Bank played a major role in encouraging the Canadian government to purchase food locally in times of crisis, close to areas of need.
