Breaking: Toronto food banks just logged 4.1 million visits in a single year. It took 38 years to hit 1 million. It took five years to hit 4 million. That number is Toronto only, not Canada. Daily Bread’s CEO told CP24 the city went from about 3.4 million visits and was already on track for 4 million. The Who’s Hungry report put the year at 4,124,313 visits, up 340% since 2019. More than 1 in 10 Torontonians now use a food bank. ❗️Scale it up: ✅️ Toronto, full year: 4.1 million visits ✅️ Ontario, full year: about 8.7 million visits, roughly 1 million people ✅️ Canada, March 2025 alone: 2.17 million visits, double 2019 One in five national clients has a job. A third of visits are children. Newcomers in Canada 10 years or less are about 34% of clients, up from 13% in 2019. Since the Liberals took office in 2015, permanent residents rose from about 271,000 a year to a peak near 484,000. Temporary residents went from a small share of the population to nearly 3 million. Asylum claims went from about 16,000 in 2015 to about 173,000 in 2024. Food and shelter costs rose about 30% after 2019. Wages did not keep up. Housing was not built at the same speed. CP24 puts the food-bank CEO on air and walks through another record: 3 million, then 4 million, like a milestone the city just cleared. Why is a record number of families who cannot afford food being reported like something to note with pride, instead of the failure it is❓️
