OTTAWA The federal government will distribute $30 million to Indigenous communities and about $65 million to local organizations across Canada to support food security during the COVID-19 pandemic, Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said. At a virtual news conference Friday, Bibeau said Food Banks Canada and Breakfast Club of Canada will each receive $18.5 million, and Community Food Centres Canada, Second Harvest and The Salvation Army will also receive just under $9 million each. We are working very closely with the different organizations, Bibeau said in an interview. We follow their work. They keep us informed of the need they see in the field.
