Frequently asked questions

Who receives support through World Vision’s feeding programs?

downarrow

We prioritize families facing severe hunger. Our focus is on the most vulnerable: children under five, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and families in crisis. In communities hit by disasters, emergency food aid provides life-saving meals for malnourished children—helping them regain strength and hope for a healthier future.

icon

How do I know my donation is making a real difference?

downarrow

Your gift has a measurable impact. As the World Food Programme’s largest partner, World Vision delivers emergency food rations, ready-to-eat therapeutic food and ongoing support—saving nearly 10 lives every day. Each month, millions receive life-saving food, helping children recover from malnutrition and families overcome crisis. Your donation truly changes lives.

icon

Why provide food aid instead of only supporting farming?

downarrow

Ending hunger takes both urgent help and long-term solutions. Emergency food aid saves lives when families face crisis right now. Farming gifts—like chickens, goats and seeds—help families grow food and earn income for the future. Malnourished children can’t learn or thrive without immediate support. Together, these approaches fight today’s hunger and build tomorrow’s resilience.

icon

What does it mean when you say that my gift multiplies 7X in value?

downarrow

Through our partnership with the World Food Programme, your donation goes much further. For example, a $25 gift becomes $175 worth of food. A gift of $50 turns into $350 and $264 grows to $1,848—providing critical meals for hungry families. This multiplier is accurate now but may change based on program timing, funding and the value of donated food.

icon

Will I receive a tax receipt for my gift?

downarrow

Yes! Every donation through World Vision Canada is fully tax-deductible. After your gift is processed, you’ll receive an official receipt to use for your income tax return, making it easy to support children and families while benefiting from charitable tax credits.
