The Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) has signed a new
five-year agreement with the Canadian International Development Agency
– worth $20 million per year.
CFGB also recently welcomed two major new member
agencies, bringing to 15 the number of church-based agencies engaged in

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.
