Description
Guest: Dhriti Gupta, staff reporter There were more than one million visits to food banks across Canada in 2022, according to Food Banks Canada. It is the highest number on record. In addition to this surge in demand, food banks are grappling with rising food costs.

This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz.
