Make the Season Kind

Your gift today will ensure families facing hunger can access the food they need

Since 2002, CBC Toronto’s Make the Season Kind has raised over $13 million for food banks across Ontario.

With 4.1 million food bank visits recorded in Toronto for the second consecutive year, and one in eight Toronto children living in a household that relies on a food bank, your support is needed more than ever.
