Food Security Grants
As food insecurity worsens across the GTA, the Catholic community is responding with its largest-ever contribution to fight hunger. ShareLife, the annual charitable appeal of the Archdiocese of Toronto, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Toronto (CCAT), and two generous anonymous donors, have pledged a combined $800,000 in Food Security Grants for 2025—building on previous commitments of $500,000 in 2023 and $750,000 in 2024.

UPDATE: 2025 Food Security Grants Recipients
“We cannot turn away from the suffering around us, especially when so many struggle just to eat. Our Catholic family is called not only to witness God’s love but to live it boldly: feed the hungry, restore dignity, and stand shoulder to shoulder with those in need. As Scripture reminds us in Isaiah 58:10, ‘If you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness.’ Together, through these grants and our generous hearts, we bring hope where despair threatens to take hold.”
Frank Cardinal Leo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto
