One in four Canadians now struggles to afford groceries — and the demand for food banks has never been higher. Shane Hewitt talks with Erin Filey-Wronecki, Chief Development & Partnerships Officer at Food Banks Canada, about the growing challenge of hunger in a country rich with resources. They explore how food banks stretch every dollar, the vital role of volunteers, and the urgent need for advocacy to cut food insecurity in half by 2030. With empathy and clarity, Erin shares how generosity fuels real impact — turning donations into millions of meals and transforming food banks into places of dignity and hope.
