The minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau, and MP for Sherbrooke, Élisabeth Brière, have announced a $100-million top-up for the Emergency Food Security Fund—support for food banks and local food organizations coping with higher demand and fewer resources.
The Emergency Food Security Fund has supported more than 4,700 local food initiatives across Canada, with over 1,050 initiatives directly supporting Indigenous organizations and communities. The fund has helped to serve safe, healthy and culturally diverse meals to millions of Canadians.
