Sprott Foundation Donates $4M for Toronto Food Hub

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome to Canada News today, powered by AI. I'm Corey, with the story. North York Harvest Food Bank just landed its biggest donation ever, $4 million from the Sprott Foundation, to build a new community food, Hub. This cash will boost storage and prep space while pushing beyond quick fixes to tackle root causes of hunger across Toronto. Execs are calling it transformative, with the food bank shifting to long-term solutions by partnering with libraries, schools, and youth programs in, the greater Toronto area. The foundation's even kicking off a matching drive, where every $1 you give gets matched by four from them. Food bank visits in Toronto have spiked 340 percent since 2019, hitting over 4 million last year, as even full time. Workers and degree holders struggle with housing costs and basics, so this hub aims to rebuild dignity and community strength for years ahead.
