Food Banks Canada is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2026 Capacity Boost Grant.
The 2026 Capacity Boost Grant aims to build the network’s capacity to accept, store, and distribute food with the ultimate goal of increasing the amount of food available to food-insecure households.
The grant will help address the persistent bottlenecks that hinder the timely and effective distribution of surplus food across the network. These include limited storage capacity (both warehouse and cold storage), transportation challenges, and a lack of infrastructure to process perishable items, amongst others.
The 2026 Capacity Boost Grant is open to Food Banks Canada’s food bank network, including:
Affiliate food banks (member of a provincial association);
Provincial Associations of Food Banks Canada;
Food banks and food security organizations located in the territories and the remote northern regions of provinces
Apply before the deadline on December 15, 2025, at 5.00 p.m. EST!
