Our Purpose
Of the 1 billion hungry people on the planet today, 70% of them are farmers and their families. These individuals often go hungry because they lack the basic skills, knowledge and resources to grow their own food.
About Us
Grains of Hope provides you with an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of these farmers through our wonderful partners, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) and MCC Ontario, the donations made through Grains of Hope go directly to providing necessary skills and resources to farmers in the developing world.
Donate Now
Even a small donation can make a big difference. With the Canadian International Development Agency’s matching program, every $1 donated becomes $6 to be spent on food and water programs. We invite you to join us in the fight against world hunger.
$8.9 Million raised so far. Thank you for your support.
