For the fifth year in a row, GTA food banks have had over one million visits. But different areas are seeing different trends.
In Toronto’s city core between April 2012 and March 2013, the report says, food banks saw about the same number of visits they did in 2008. Effectively, demand for food has fallen to pre-recession levels.
But it’s a different story in the city’s inner suburbs, where food bank visits during that same period of time still exceeded 2008 levels by 38 per cent.
