Working together to end global hunger.
About us
Our goal is a world without hunger. We are a partnership of 15 church and church-based agencies working together to end global hunger. Together, these churches and church-based agencies represent 30+ Canadian denominations. We work toward our goal by: providing food in times of crisis for people facing hunger overseas; helping people grow more food to better feed themselves and their families; and providing nutritional support to malnourished people with a focus on pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and young children. We also advocate for public policies that enable families and communities to better feed themselves, and look for ways to engage and educate Canadians about global hunger.

Nexus programming is rarely a straight path from crisis to food security. Families working toward stability often face setbacks—like natural disasters or conflict—that pull them back into relying on food assistance. But each step forward matters. Even in the face of sudden shocks, resilience can grow, and the journey continues. 🌱 #Endhunger #ResilientCommunities #FoodSecurity #NexusProjects #Nexus
