Organizations in rural and northern areas can receive help under the initiative to develop or improve infrastructure that helps get food to vulnerable people. This includes supporting the purchase, transportation and distribution of food, hiring additional staff and undertaking small-scale construction projects. Food Banks Canada is now accepting applications for funding from community or charitable organizations, Indigenous groups and not-for-profit co-operatives. The funding will target the gaps in food security services in rural and northern communities in relation to the previous funding allocated under the Emergency Food Security Fund.  For more information please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/agriculture-agri-food/news/2020/11/government-of-canada-joins-food-banks-canada-in-improving-food-security-for-rural-and-northern-communities.html
