Lent and Easter are seasons of deep reflection, renewal, and hope. At Canadian Foodgrains Bank, we’re proud to be a membership of 15 Canadian church-based organizations, united in our commitment to end global hunger. Together, we represent over 12,000 individual congregations from nearly 30 Christian denominations across Canada, each observing these seasons in their own unique ways.
To help you and your community engage more meaningfully during Lent and Easter, some of our member organizations have created free resources to inspire reflection, learning, and deeper understanding.

Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D)
When we respond to poverty, hunger and conflict in our global village, we discover God’s resurrecting power. The hungry are fed, the vulnerable are cared for, the sick are healed, and the poor are raised up. This Lenten season, let us faithfully respond to Christ’s call to serve those in need.

Weaving scripture, reflection and prayer together with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Anglican Marks of Mission, the Rev. Jonathan Rowe of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador, offers a rich tapestry in this year’s Alongside Hope Lenten resource.
