Canadian Feed The Children's family of supporters have always been dedicated, but on Giving Tuesday, you achieved an astounding result for children. At a time when we’re all dealing with the effects of inflation, we are incredibly touched by the generosity of every single one of you who came together for children.

Together, we raised $212,288

Thank you for your generosity!

A record breaking result that will change children's lives!

This record breaking achievement will go so far to help children and families access the urgent food support they need right now, and build sustainable food systems to feed families for generations to come. In the face of a global food crisis, we know that there is a lot more work to do. Still, your generosity shows us that together, we can build a hunger-free future for children.

Meet Josue. Your gifts help children like him thrive around the world.

Josue is a highly motivated 11-year-old living in Bolivia. Their community, on the outskirts of a major city, struggles to access nutritious food, especially since food prices have risen so much over the past year.

When you give, you’re giving children like Josue access to fresh food and so much more. Thanks to donor support, Josue’s family has a garden full of fresh vegetables. He has also taken classes on healthy eating, and he likes to teach his family the new recipes he learns. His family eats well and his mother sells some of the food she grows to buy other things they need.
