Partnership in action

Last year, 2.23 million people were facing food insecurity in Madagascar. With 75% of the population living in poverty, an ongoing drought brought on by climate change has greatly hindered food access for many.

World Renew is a member of Canadian Foodgrains Bank and shares its mission of ending global hunger, and Madagascar is no exception.

Through this partnership, families are being equipped with seeds, agricultural training, and access to savings programs to change the story of hunger. With your support, 180 tonnes of seeds have been distributed, 47 Village Savings and Loan Associations started, and 1,500 households have become resilient to food insecurity and drought.

This Canadian Foodgrains Bank Sunday, stand with global communities who have witnessed barren land and washed-out crops. Together, we can end global hunger!

World Renew & the Canadian Foodgrains Bank Working Together

World Renew is a founding member of Canadian Foodgrains Bank, working closely together to end global hunger. Canadian Foodgrains Bank supports World Renew by collecting donations from generous donors, churches, and growing projects, providing funds and expert advice on projects, and purchasing and distribution of food assistance. Here’s how that happens:

  • World Renew receives gifts from individuals, churches, communities, growing projects and businesses to our Canadian Foodgrains Bank account.
  • These gifts are matched up to 4:1, from a variety of public and private sources.
  • Gifts given to World Renew’s account for all projects are available for immediate use.
  • If World Renew is unable to respond to a particular need, we can contribute funds from our account to any of the 15 other Christian member organizations at the Foodgrains Bank who are responding to that need.

Church Engagement

Through year-round giving, churches across Canada generously donate to provide World Renew with immediate access to emergency funds for international disasters. Each year, many churches participate in Canadian Foodgrains Bank Sunday; a time to give and learn about how Christians can respond to global hunger. In addition, many rural and urban churches fund World Renew growing projects with the Foodgrains Bank. All these gifts are eligible to be matched through Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

Growing Projects

Through community growing projects, farmers work together to plant, tend and harvest their crops, then give the proceeds of the sale to World Renew’s account at Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Funds raised through these acres of land are then matched. There are hundreds of growing projects across Canada, generously contributing donations to the Foodgrains Bank.

Individual Donations

People like you match their regular donations to World Renew with Canadian Foodgrains Bank by making ongoing contributions through their church or World Renew. When you give online, your gift goes toward World Renew work with Canadian Foodgrains Bank including emergency food assistance in times of disaster and long-term food security projects.
