More people are using food banks as inflation grows, Manitoba report says

A new report from Harvest Manitoba shows just how sharply food insecurity has grown in the province. Food bank usage has climbed 150% in five years, now reaching 60,000 people a month—and many of them are working, educated, and raising children. The group says familiar pathways out of poverty no longer deliver stability, pointing to housing costs, low wages, and limited supports. The organization is urging governments to respond, even as political debate continues over affordability and responsibility.
