The number of food bank visits in Toronto surpassed 4 million between March 2024 and April 2025, with children and youth accounting for one out of every four clients, according to a new report.
“Almost a year after the City of Toronto declared a food insecurity state of emergency, we’ve reached a devastating new milestone: over 4.1 million food bank visits in the past year,” reads the “Who’s Hungry” report released on Oct. 27.
