Our work in Canada

Welcome to Canada, where the vast geography is defined both by its diversity and its beauty. It’s hard to believe that poverty is a problem in our rich country, but it is. Our programs here help nourish vulnerable children in Aboriginal and high-risk communities. Canadian Feed The Children was founded in this country in 1986 and, close to twenty-five years later, Canadians of all ages continue to make the generous decision to support our work to help children thrive.
