Food Banks As A Lifeline.

Canada’s New Normal. HungerCount 2025.

Every March food banks all over Canada record their statistics & submit them to Food Banks Canada to compile a snapshot of our nation-wide hunger. Sadly, monthly visits have doubled since 2019 – hitting close to 2.2 million visits in March alone.

Across Alberta: March 2025 – 127 Food Banks Reporting

Total Visits 210,541
Total Visits (Child) 75,968

Who Are We Feeding?

70.5% are renting accommodation
31.8% are on social assistance or disability-related supports
30.8% are working income households
37.6% are single-person households
31.7% are two-parent families
36.2% are children

Reducing food insecurity must be Alberta’s priority.
