This blog post was written by Kevin MacLellan for Food Banks Canada<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

The world has changed dramatically since COVID-19 became a part of our everyday lives. For 1.8 million Canadian households, however, one thing has unfortunately remained the same.* Food insecurity is just as prevalent today<\/em> as it was pre-pandemic, perhaps even more so. That\u2019s because when the coronavirus hit, it didn\u2019t just close businesses and schools\u2014it abruptly ended programs that many individuals relied on for their daily meals. Neighbourhood houses, community centres and after school programs all temporarily shuttered due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJust think about that for a moment,\u201d says Chris Hatch, Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. \u201cWhile millions of us were concerned about having to line up and physical distance in order to shop<\/em> for food, millions of others were worried about being able to simply put<\/em> food on the table.\u201d Talk about perspective.<\/p>\n

Challenges Facing Food Banks<\/h4>\n

Yet amidst the closures and the uncertainty, there was still one<\/em> place people in need could turn to \u2014 food banks. However, while many remained open, food banks across the country were facing overwhelming and unprecedented challenges of their own. \u201cIn the beginning [of the pandemic], we lost a ton of volunteers,\u201d recalls Danielle McIntyre, Executive Director of the Interfaith Food Bank Society of Lethbridge, Alberta. \u201cThere was a huge fear of the unknown and for good reason, as many of our regular volunteers consist of seniors and individuals with special needs. Since nobody knew how long this threat was going to play out for, most volunteers decided to stay home as a precaution. It\u2019s a worrisome place to be in when you consider that food banks in Canada are run mostly by volunteers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another effect of the pandemic was the cancellation of local fundraisers.Food banks rely on these types of events to raise money so they can purchase food and supplies, as well as to cover operating expenses. With restrictions on public gatherings, food banks had to come up with entirely new ways of sourcing money and food donations. Not an easy task when the demand for food was high and food bank resources were already stretched thin.<\/p>\n

\u201c60% of the people who came to our doors in the first month of the pandemic were first-time visitors,\u201d explains Norman Dunn, Director General of SOS D\u00e9pannage in Granby, Quebec. \u201cWith so many in need of food, it didn\u2019t take long to realize that new internal structures needed to be put in place. Plus, we had to do it all with a drastically reduced staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

5,600 kilometres to the west, the local food bank in the Yukon community of Whitehorse experienced a 30% increase in demand. \u201cFood security is a regular issue for us,\u201d states Dave Blottner, Executive Director of the Whitehorse Food Bank. \u201cWhen COVID hit, that issue was taken to the next level. This is due to the fact that in addition to our regular clients, we suddenly found ourselves providing emergency food assistance to an area that extended beyond a 700-kilometre radius of Whitehorse. That\u2019s a lot of people in need and an extensive amount of ground to cover.\u201d<\/p>\n

For larger cities, there were also food distribution issues that needed to be figured out.\u201cFrom the onset of the COVID crisis, our way of distributing food was severely impacted,\u201d adds David Long, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. \u201cUp to that point, we used everything from schools and neighbourhood houses to churches and community centres (as food distribution sites). These places were all literally shut down overnight because of immediate social distancing restrictions that were enacted to protect the public.\u201d<\/p>\n

This leads to the logistical challenges food banks had to overcome within this new reality. How were they going to get food to the people that needed it? Who was going to help process, pack, and deliver all of that food? Where was the money going to come from? There were so many unknown variables to figure out, to say that it\u2019s been daunting would be an understatement. But the thing about dealing with the unknown is that you learn to adapt, really fast. And that\u2019s exactly what food banks have done. Even when things have seemed impossible, food bankers from coast to coast to coast chose to step up instead of give up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my all-time favourite quotes is from Bernadette in Kamloops,\u201d says Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Network Services Officer at Food Banks Canada. \u201cBernadette\u2019s motto is if something is impossible, we\u2019ll just do it anyway because that\u2019s what food bankers do. It\u2019s that kind of dedication that keeps our team up at all hours thinking about how to solve the unsolvable.\u201d<\/p>\n

While we don\u2019t know what the future holds, one thing is certain. Food insecurity is<\/em> solvable. However, just like the pandemic, there is no quick solution. But that doesn\u2019t mean we should be complacent. Just because these times are being referred to as \u2018the new normal\u2019, doesn\u2019t mean we should ever accept that there\u2019s anything \u2018normal\u2019 about Canadians going hungry. But food banks can\u2019t do it alone. Conquering food insecurity is a job that\u2019s going to take each and every one of us to get done.<\/p>\n

Although the task may seem insurmountable, if we adopt Bernadette\u2019s philosophy, we\u2019ll be well on our way to eliminating hunger once and for all.<\/p>\n

How Food Banks Canada is Helping<\/h4>\n

Food Banks Canada provides national leadership to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow in collaboration with the food bank network from coast-to-coast-to-coast. For 40 years, food banks have been dedicated to helping Canadians living with food insecurity. Over 3,000 food banks and community agencies come together to serve our most vulnerable neighbours who \u2013 last year \u2013 made 1.1 million visits to these organizations in one month alone, according to our HungerCount report. Since 2010, as a system we\u2019ve sourced and shared almost 1.5 billion pounds of food and Food Banks Canada shared over $100 million in funding to help maximize collective impact and strengthen local capacity \u2013 while advocating for reducing the need for food banks. Our vision is clear: create a Canada where no one goes hungry.<\/p>\n
