With this landmark decision, the membership of CFGB has grown to represent almost all Christian denominations in Canada.

Member agencies represent evangelical churches, mainline protestant churches, as well as catholic churches.

All told, more than 17,000 congregations and parishes are now connected to this ecumenical effort to combat hunger in developing countries.                     foodgrainsbank.ca
