Reducing food insecurity for countless families

For more than 20 years, goeasy has stood beside BGC Canada in creating life-changing opportunities for children and youth across the country. Together, we have built 100 welcoming kitchen spaces through EasyBites, provided thousands of nourishing meals through Feed their Future, and made food more accessible for families across Canada.

Thanks to goeasy’s leadership, Clubs across the country have been able to offer safe, supportive, and enriching environments where young people can thrive. Their partnership means more than meals—it means full bellies, full hearts, and full potential.

Meet Paul & Jason

Senior Manager of National Sales at LendCare, Paul, and Vice President of Collections at the NSCC, Jason, both grew up as BGC Club kids. In celebration of BGC Club Day, they went back to visit their home Clubs—a place they credit with helping shape their path and contribute to their success.

goeasy’s generous support ensures that young people are not held back by the inability to access a fundamental human need. Partnerships, like the one we have with goeasy, are essential to BGC Canada’s ability to serve communities.

Knowing that my child was fed healthy and well-balanced snacks and meals made me worry less if I was not able to provide her with fresh fruit and veggies each day. Thank you for doing this for the BGC Clubs.

BGC Club Parent

Personally, I grew up attending BGC programs during a sensitive time in my life. An impressionable kid from Scarborough who didn’t have a lot, these programs provided me and many other kids a place to go and feel safe, have fun, learn and build relationships. These are incredible programs, and I am honoured to be a part of our partnership.

Food is a fundamental need.

Young bodies need nutrients to thrive. Young people with full bellies can think better, perform better, learn better and make better decisions. Without food security, nothing else is possible.
