TORONTO, July 8, 2026 /CNW/ – Toyota Canada and its dealers have announced a $300,000 donation to Food Banks Canada through Toyota Cars For Good™, renewing the program’s national partnership and reinforcing the company’s ongoing support for food security in communities across the country.

Now in its second year, this partnership has already helped provide more than one million meals to people in Canada.

“Through Toyota Cars For Good™, our dealers across Canada are helping turn everyday business into meaningful impact,” said Steve Pilkey, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Toyota Canada. “We’re proud to work in partnership with Food Banks Canada to help more people in Canada access the food they need to pursue their potential and purpose.”

Alongside the renewed funding, Toyota Cars For Good™ has just launched a new national campaign to raise awareness about food security and the role access to a healthy meal can play in helping people in Canada pursue the moments that matter most.

The 2026 campaign launches with two new creative spots: “Hat Trick,” which focuses on how food fuels potential, and “Jazz Night,” which focuses on how food fuels purpose.

“We’re grateful to Toyota Canada for their continued commitment to helping address food insecurity across the country. Through the Cars for Good campaign, Toyota is not only providing meaningful support, but also engaging their dealer network and customers in raising awareness and inspiring action,” shared Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. “As the need for food banks continues to grow, partnerships like this help strengthen our ability to support people and families across the country.”

Toyota Canada and its dealers have a long-standing history of supporting food security initiatives nationwide, contributing over $1 million to local food banks in 2020, and continuing their support since that time. Together with Food Banks Canada, Toyota and its dealers remain committed to working towards a Canada where no one goes hungry.
