Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of churches working together to fight world hunger. Started as a pilot project in 1976 by Mennonite Central Committee to allow Canadian farmers to share their harvests, it was reorganized in 1983, opened to other church agencies and re-established as Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). The charity was formed in time to make a significant contribution to fighting the Ethiopia famine in 1984; today CFGB works with 40 countries and has 15 church agencies representing 30 denominations with more than 17,000 congregations. CFGB is supported by the Canadian government in that donations received by CFGB are matched by government dollars on a 4:1 ratio, thus making all donations quite significant.
