Food program highlights
The global food security crisis is impacting the lives of millions of people around the world. From emergency food assistance to school feeding programs, MCC partners are responding.
Here’s a glimpse of what we accomplished together in just a year:
208K
individuals received food assistance.
$65
meets emergency food needs for displaced people or those caught in conflict.
22K
children and youth receive food through school feeding programs.
575K
pounds of MCC canned meat shipped.
Empowering farmers
When a family raises goats or grows a garden, they can eat and earn an income. When farmers have the tools and training to adapt to a changing climate, crops can survive even when rainfall is unpredictable.
When you empower farmers, families and communities can thrive.
10K
farmers participated in learning exchanges or extension visits.
45K
individuals attended agricultural trainings.
39K
individuals received agricultural inputs like seeds and cassava cuttings.
Food projects around the world
Everyone deserves enough safe and nutritious food to live a healthy life. That’s why MCC works with local partners to:
- Provide emergency food assistance in conflict or disaster
- Partner and plan with farmers
- Advocate for fair and just government policies.
Canada and food
Programs like Grow Hope unite rural and urban communities in Canada to tackle food insecurity. Through shared farming experiences and sustainable agriculture practices, we address local and national hunger concerns.
