Maple Leaf Centre for Food Security
Understanding Food Insecurity in Canada
Food insecurity affects over 10 million people in Canada, including one in three children. It is not just about lack of food, but is deeply connected to poverty, the rising cost of living, and financial instability. The Maple Leaf Centre for Food Security aims to address these challenges by working with partners, supporting research, and advocating for meaningful change.
Our Commitment and Initiatives
The Centre has committed $1 million in partnership with Prosper Canada, helping to build financial resiliency and long-term well-being for Canadians. Additionally, projects like Carte Proximité continue to receive support as part of our effort to promote innovative solutions and foster community empowerment.
Research and Public Opinion
Through regular public opinion surveys, the Centre tracks and shares the attitudes and concerns of Canadians regarding food insecurity, poverty, and cost of living. The 2025 survey results confirm that Canadians prioritize these issues and expect strong government action.
Support, Funding, and Partnerships
The Centre offers scholarships and a Leadership Fund to empower future leaders working toward food security solutions. We actively invest in partnerships with organizations and community projects across Canada to create sustainable impact.
Get Involved
Anyone interested can support the Maple Leaf Centre for Food Security by donating, applying for funding, or staying informed through our latest news, media releases, and blog updates. Together, we can help advance food security for all Canadians.
