Community Services

It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to have to turn to a food bank, soup kitchen or school feeding program in order to have a meal.  But for too many Canadians, it is a reality they face day in and day out.

Last year, 3.9 million free meals were served at The Salvation Army shelters and feeding programs. Guests include families with children, employed people whose low wages don’t cover basic living essentials, individuals on social assistance, and Canadians living on a fixed income, which includes seniors and people with disabilities.
