Our mission
Who we are
Last year, 905,543 clients accessed a food bank in the GTA; 34% of those clients were children. Through a network of 164 member agencies and almost 200 food relief programs, Daily Bread Food Bank has a hand in getting nutritious food to many of those individuals. As the largest food relief organization in the GTA, Daily Bread supports member agencies in running neighbourhood food banks where people access nutritious food hampers, as well as meal programs where people can access prepared meals such as soups or casseroles. Daily Bread Food Bank is also committed to supporting clients in their efforts to end their reliance on food banks through job training and advocacy. Daily Bread is non-partisan and all inclusive. Our supporters come from every income bracket, cultural background, faith group and walk of life. Whether informed by faith, social justice, or simply a sense of fairness, the one thing our supporters have in common is the belief that no one in Canada ought to go hungry. When you support Daily Bread Food Bank, you make a difference in the fight against hunger.
Collecting food donations come from the public and the food industry Sorting and packaging food food donations are sorted into different categories, packaged and delivered to our member agencies Food distribution safe, packaged food is sent to 164 member agencies across the GTA, all of which adhere to a strict code of ethics

Letter from the Chair of the Board of Directors
Daily Bread Food Bank, fortunately, has been in existence for over 20 years. Daily Bread Food Bank, unfortunately, has been in existence for over 20 years.
Both statements are true. When Daily Bread first started, it was meant to be a temporary effort to address the immediate needs of the marginalized in Toronto. Well, being in the business for so long we have become increasingly better at feeding hungry people and their numbers keep growing. We are addressing a real need in the GTA but NOT filling it. Every night in Toronto, many people go hungry. Even in its beginnings, Daily Bread had in its mandate to work for a more equitable society. Nevertheless, it is probably only in the past couple of years that the Board has come on board to work at the unfortunate part of the first statement above. As a consequence, the staff has been encouraged by the Board to look at issues of poverty and hunger and to call for appropriate government, business and public response. Our efforts have begun to bear fruit. The Ontario government began implementing an Ontario Child Benefit in the spring that we know was significantly influenced by Daily Breads lobbying and publications.
We also recognize that we need to partner better with our member agencies to speak with one loud voice against social injustice. Our first Agency Conference was a huge success by all accounts. With the help of fine speakers and good workshops, eve ryone left the conference charged with enthusiasm for the work of making clear that food banks should not be necessary. In the midst of this work, we as a Board are grateful for the extraordinary faithfulness and care of our member agencies and volunteers and the great work of the staff at Daily Bread.

Letter from the Executive Director
This past year at Daily Bread Food Bank has been one of evolution and revolution. The staff, volunteers and member agencies continue to evolve in easing hunger in their communities, for this I am grateful. We continue our leadership role in food distribution across the province and the country in partnership with the Ontario Association of Food Banks and the Canadian Association of Food Banks National Food Sharing System. We are also fortunate to have on-going and generous commitment of donors, whose support allows us to enhance our methods of getting food to people who need it most. There is also a revolution taking place as the fight against hunger continues. The hunger crisis in our great community is demanding action and Daily Bread Food Bank, with the backing of the Board of Directors, is taking the fight to the next level.
Over the last year, Daily Breads advocacy has led to new polices at the federal and provincial levels that will help low-income children and the working poor. Over time, these policies will lead to less reliance on food banks. We believe that success can be built on, and the time to do it is now. So, we launched our Hungry City: Make Your Mark initiative. We are asking for your support by signing on to A New Deal to Fight Hunger, Daily Breads call to the provincial government for a poverty reduction plan with timelines and targets. We look forward to holding politicians to account for the hunger crisis and to reporting significant changes for people experiencing hunger and poverty in the coming year.
Taking part in the survey as a volunteer also moved Kit Breland to get more involved with Daily Bread Food Bank. So, she moved into a role at the Welcome Centre checking in volunteers who come to work at Daily Breads warehouse. It wasnt long before Kit realized that she could use her professional background in social work to further support food bank clients. She became a volunteer in the advocacy department, working with clients to provide information, referrals, resources, and support related to such issues as income, housing, employment, education and training, and accessing clothing, furniture and glasses. I guess its been a year and a half that Ive been doing advocacy now and Im always amazed at how well known the advocacy services seem to be outside of our doors, Kit said. Its a great learning experience because even though I have a Psychology and a Masters in Social Work background, you tend to know the areas you know like I worked at Childrens Aid and the North York Womens Centre so I tend to know those areas very well, but in advocacy you have to know so many different areas, so its always learning at the same time as youre finding resources for the client, says Kit. Youre educating yourself and that of course makes it much more beneficial for the next
client that comes along with the same issues. You think: Oh yeah I know this is what we do or this is who we phone. Daily Bread Food Bank volunteers share in the fundamental belief that no one ought to go hungry. Kit and Sally are just two of the hundreds of volunteers who donate the precious gifts of time and skills to make a difference in the lives of people who experience poverty and Daily Bread could not achieve its mandate without their support.

This past year saw total food bank use in the GTA at 905, 543, a 1.3 % increase from the previous year and the seventh straight year of increased use. Daily Bread Food Banks research has pointed to some common experiences and trends among food bank clients. In seeking solutions, we have uncovered that hunger and poverty should be addressed in five key areas, namely: Children, Welfare & Work, People with Disabilities, Immigrants and Housing. A New Deal to Fight Hunger urgently calls for the Ontario government to implement a poverty reduction plan, addressing the aforementioned five key areas, complete with timelines and targets. Daily Bread Food Banks Hungry City: Make Your Mark initiative appeals to the public to sign on to the New Deal and will support Daily Breads advocacy efforts on behalf of food bank clients.
Peoples experiences are much too complex to put them into one of these five categories; however, it is common that if one or two of these issues could be resolved in the lives of food bank clients that their food bank reliance would be significantly reduced, if not completely eliminated.
It would be impossible for us to share all 905, 543 stories. However, personal stories give us a glimpse into what challenges people face. We have provided some snapshots into lived experiences where our clients are dealing with issues that urgently relate to hunger and poverty so that you can see what they face in the context of our research.

In the meantime, Carols current main source of income is Employment Insurance (EI), but that will run out soon. She receives about $390 every two weeks. She is hoping to go back to her old job at the print shop. When she returns, she will not receive benefits and she is expecting her hourly wage to drop. They actually only want to have me working the later shift, which will be from 5:00 to 11:00, so thats not very many hours, says Carol, it works out to be about 25 hours a week. So, when you multiply 25 times $8.50, thats not very much money. At one point, Carol was earning more than minimum wage, at $10 per hour as is the case for many of the food bank clients who are working.
You know, you take whatever you can get, says Carol. You dont sit there and wait until you find the right job because sometimes it may not come around, [so you] take a cut in paythats what Ive done. Theres been a shift in Canadas economy in the last twenty years which has resulted in drastic changes to the face of employment. The lower end of the labour market tends to be poorly paid, earn no benefits and struggle with work hours that are inconsistent. Fifteen percent of food bank clients report that employment is their main source of income. Unfortunately, when working substantially fewer hours than full-time (25 hours is the median that food bank clients who are working report getting), even a $10 an hour job will not provide financial stability. When asked whether they could work more hours, the majority of working food bank clients (57%) said it would not be possible to be scheduled for more hours.
Carol likes to keep herself busy and be involved in her community. These days, shes volunteering at the neighbourhood food bank that she accesses and she also volunteers as a Girl Guide leader. Despite her intentions to stay in the work force the odds havent always been stacked in Carols favour as they arent for many food bank clients. Another unaffordable cost associated with working for many low-income families is transportation. Of those clients who are working, 49% use public transit to get around and 26 % have trouble regularly affording the TTC. When Carol was working, one of her biggest expenses was transit. What she and other working clients are looking for is income security. Those labeled as the working poor should be supported to assure wage progression and movement into higher skilled, higher value-added jobs. With circumstances as they stand, food bank clients like Carol can only expect to continue to move in and out of the welfare or EI cycle.

I am really not sure at all, says Tammy, you know it used to be $250, but the forms not set up like that anymore, its set up by blood work. Its actually very ridiculous how the government closed up that loophole. That was one way for people to get extra money for food and the government closed it up so you tell me why they closed it up?! But, shell wait to find out. If she had more money she would be able to afford the food she needs and her health would stabilize. In the meantime shell focus on a time when she can really put her energy behind her two start-up businesses, a giftwares company and a PR venture. It makes her feel better.

Housing
Safe and affordable housing is the foundation for vibrant communities and strong families. Housing is the single largest expense for all people, particularly in cities comprising the GTA where housing prices have skyrocketed in recent years. Although 98% of food bank clients have housing, the inflexible and rising cost of housing continues to consume the majority (75%) of the total household income for food bank clients. Consequently, food budgets are sacrificed in order to accommodate the financial demands of shelter. Tammy, Marion and Bozhan share their perspectives on the challenges and necessity of maintaining a place to live.
Tammy
Tammy describes her experience living at a rooming house. I was there for four months, says Tammy, they had drug users and dealers and it got pretty scary for someone who doesnt use and who has anxiety. Im out of there at the moment. Im staying with friends but Im going to have to move all over the place this month. I applied to housing finally. Im going to have to waitI could end up waiting 6 months to a year. Just over a quarter of food bank clients live in subsidized housing. For successful applicants, the average wait time was three years, while those currently on the waiting list have been waiting just under four years. Tammy hopes to secure subsidized housing quicker than most due to her medical situation. However, while it might be assumed that clients with subsidized housing would be at some financial advantage, this is often not the case. Due to what is known as the stacking effect of social benefits, individuals will often lose from one service that which is gained in another. For instance, someone on subsidized housing would receive less financial support from ODSP because of lower housing costs, leaving the individual in a similar financial dilemma.
19
Marion
Marion is satisfied with her current housing situation which she shares with her teenage son and younger daughter. Yet, Marion knows all too well from friends, and from the clients, at the food bank, how a lack of affordable housing can strain families. Im in a market rent [apartment], not subsidized housing. But I have child support coming in from my ex and I have a girl who stays with us every couple of months and pays room and board so I offset [rent] a little with that, explains Marion. But affordable housing is a huge issue. They recommend that your housing be only 30% of your income and I dont think anyone that is going to the food bank is hitting 30%. Marion has close friends who live in subsidized housing and when she visits them she sees the state of their homes. The buildings are falling down, says Marion and she strongly believes that the emotional state of people is affected by their surroundings. Youre thinking I want to get mad at someone about cockroaches! and your mind is not in a good place. When asked about possible solutions to getting affordable housing created in the GTA Marion offered some options. Not even necessarily building, just converting. They convert an old warehouse into a loft apartment and charge $250 000 for a condominium, says Marion. Why cant we do the same with half those buildings? Why cant we buy them out and instead of charging $250 000, do decent and affordable [housing]?
Bozhan
Bozhan is also paying market value rent. He pays $700 a month for a one bedroom apartment for his family of four. Bozhan describes the size of his familys apartment as enough for now. Still, although, it is the biggest expense his family pays (nearly 75% of their household income) Bozhan says the rent is manageable and not too much. The amount he receives for his two children from the Child Tax Benefit and the Universal Child Care Benefit help to offset his familys housing costs, but he is still forced to use food banks as an edible income supplement. These and countless other stories are what drive Daily Bread Food Bank in its mission and vision. With your support, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of food bank clients.

Treasurers Report: Year ended March 31, 2007
I am happy to report that Daily Bread has had another financially successful year. The net surplus on the operating fund was $1,080,000 before fund allocations, compared to $427,000 the previous year. Operating revenues were up by $1,128,000 and total revenues by $1,218,000. Overall, expenses were up $475,000. The increase was due primarily to the filling of vacant staff positions in order to meet the on-going needs of our clients, and the full assumption of kitchen operations on conclusion of the Daily BreadGoodwill joint venture.
The restricted fund balances continue to be healthy. Having completed its first full year, the Community Action Fund now stands at $241,000 after helping member agencies to the extent of $167,000 during the year. The Emergency Food Purchase Fund stands at $723,000 after spending $780,000 supplementing food distribution for the year. This strong financial position allows Daily Bread to focus more on the second part of its mission by promoting awareness of hunger. While there is still a long way to go, Daily Bread is well positioned financially to continue to press for change while meeting clients immediate needs.
