2 Million Visits A hand holding a dish

In 2022, there were 2 Million visits to Toronto food banks


And food prices are at their highest level in more than four decades. This is an emergency for our Jewish community members struggling with poverty, and there are many. The rate of poverty among Holocaust survivors alone is twice that of other Canadian seniors.

This Passover, UJA’s Global Seder has never mattered more.


LET ALL WHO ARE HUNGRY COME AND EAT

2022 was one of the worst years in recent memory for Torontonians experiencing poverty. UJA-funded food relief programs are feeding more people than ever before—tens of thousands—and demand continues to rise. Giving to UJA’s Global Seder puts food on the table for people who would otherwise struggle to feed themselves. This includes a special deliver of Kosher for Passover food through our partner, the National Council of Jewish women, benefiting more than 2,000 families.

In every corner of the world, fellow members of our Jewish family are struggling. Community members in Russia and Eastern Europe, among the poorest in the world, are in many cases living on less than $2 per day with no family or government support. Violence and deprivation continue for Jews living through the war in Ukraine. In Israel, Ethiopian, Eastern European, and other new immigrants need our help to start their new lives. Your gift to UJA’s Global Seder offer all of these Jews the joy of a warm Passover meal, and the hope that comes from knowing Jews around the world support them.
