“The food brings back memories of my mom. I find everyone to be friendly. When I am a little down, I will come here and see staff smiling. It reminds me that life can still be good.” — Community member, NorWest Co-op CFC, Winnipeg

Get involved

You can join a growing community of supporters working together to end food insecurity.

One easy peasy way is to host your own fundraiser!

When you create a fundraiser, you become a part of our special family of community champions. The funds you raise will help to power a national movement to address the root causes of food insecurity.

Visit our fundraising website to get started.

You can also fundraise in support of our work by hosting a birthday party through ECHOage or a workplace event with Alaya by Benevity!

Other ways to give

Leave a gift in your will
A gift in your will is the ultimate expression of your values.

When you leave a gift in your will to Community Food Centres Canada, your legacy will help build a Canada where everyone has the means, knowledge, and voice to access good food with dignity.

Gifts can be made through a bequest in your will of cash, RRSP/RRIF, or a Life Insurance Policy and can offer significant tax advantages.

Contact philanthropy@cfccanada.ca to learn more and ensure your gift is directed to the area that is most meaningful to you.
Gifts of securities
Donating appreciated securities is a simple, cost-effective, and tax-efficient way to make a charitable gift. You can eliminate the capital gains tax that you’d need to pay if you sold the securities and donated the proceeds. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value of your donation.

Please consult your financial adviser to see if this is a good fit for you.

You can make a gift of securities in a few simple steps:
- Download and complete the Letter of Authorization from Donor to Broker
- Fax or mail your completed form to your broker or adviser who will transfer the gift of securities.
- Notify Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC) of the transfer by emailing a copy of the Letter of Authorization form to philanthrophy@cfccanada.ca
You will receive a charitable tax receipt based on the closing price on the date that shares are received. The Letter of Authorization must be received in order for CFCC to issue a charitable tax receipt.
