尽管由于工资低、住房负担不起以及社会福利不足等原因出现紧急情况,安大略粮食银行的需求仍然很高。 Ontario food banks still see high demand despite emergencies, driven by low wages, unaffordable housing, and inadequate social benefits.

在安大略省市政当局宣布粮食无保障紧急情况一年多后,对粮食银行的需求仍然很高,多伦多有400万次访问,每10个居民中就有1人依赖援助,其中包括40%的儿童。 More than a year after Ontario municipalities declared food insecurity emergencies, demand for food banks remains high, with Toronto seeing 4 million visits and one in 10 residents relying on aid, including 40% children. 尽管捐助增加,学校方案扩大,但倡导者说社会福利停滞不前,住房负担不起,低工资继续驱动着需求。 Despite increased donations and expanded school programs, advocates say stagnant social benefits, unaffordable housing, and low wages continue to drive need. 在金斯敦和其他地区,紧急事件宣布后捐款增加,但粮食银行领导人强调,长期解决办法需要更高的收入、负担得起的住房以及最新的社会援助率,因为目前的福利远远不足以支付基本生活费用。 In Kingston and other areas, donations rose after the emergencies were declared, but food bank leaders stress that long-term solutions require higher incomes, affordable housing, and updated social assistance rates, as current benefits fall far short of covering basic living costs.
