This is the best summary I could come up with:

In Toronto, Daily Bread Food Bank reported a 63 per cent year-over-year increase in use between July 2022 and June 2023.

Talia Bronstein, vice president of research and advocacy at the Daily Bread Food Bank, said one bright spot of the past year has been the way staff, volunteers and donors have stepped up to meet the growing challenge.

Both Nicholls and Bronstein say the most promising government program on the horizon is the Canadian Disability Benefit, which is part of a bill that passed in Parliament in June.

"Our top priority is to move forward as fast as we can with regulatory development," said Laurent de Casanove, the minister's press secretary.

If the federal government can step up income support for that population, she said there could be a "really significant" drop in food bank use, which is Daily Bread's ultimate goal.

Nicholls said about a quarter of the people they serve in Mississauga receive the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), which she said isn't sufficient despite it being increased in line with inflation.
