Publications
Daily Bread Food Bank believes that research is critical to creating social change to reduce poverty. Because research is only meaningful if it is acted on and used, Daily Bread works to ensure that our findings are accessible and widely available to those who want to learn about the root causes of hunger and poverty in the GTA. Our research and publications are key tools in our work with government outreach and public education. Our publications represent work done by Daily Bread over the years to educate and engage the public and to push the government toward innovative and realistic policy solutions for hunger.
Who's Hungry: Profile of Hunger in the GTA
The Who's Hungry report has come to be Daily Bread Food Bank's signature research publication. Daily Bread believes that in order to solve the problem of hunger and poverty, we have to understand it. Updated annually with results gathered from almost 2000 one on one food bank client interviews, Who's Hungry offers a quantitative and qualitative glimpse into the hunger crisis in the Greater Toronto Area.
Ending hunger in our communities requires a strong commitment from governments at all levels to reduce poverty. Daily Bread develops innovative public policy proposals by building on our research fact base, and forming relationships with key stakeholders and policy experts. We believe that policy must be achievable, and therefore we work with an informed scan of the political environment. Most importantly, we incorporate the voice of people directly experiencing poverty in the policy development process. Daily Bread has a strong public policy track record that includes:
- Helping low-income seniors access the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)
- Working with the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation to exempt Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) from Ontario's social assistance asset rules
- Achieving the new Ontario Child Benefit (OCB) for low-income families with children, working with other organizations such as MISWAA
- Pressing the Ontario government to commit to a Poverty Reduction Strategy
- Developing a Material Deprivation Index as a new measure of poverty in Ontario
