SUMMARY — Emergency Food Services
What is Emergency Food Services in the Canadian Civic Context?
Emergency Food Services (EFS) are a critical component of Canada’s social safety net, operating within the broader framework of homelessness support and immediate crisis intervention. These services are designed to provide temporary, nutritious food to individuals and families facing immediate food insecurity, often as part of a coordinated response to homelessness, poverty, or other emergencies.
