Burger it Forward returns to fight food insecurity
From February 1 – 28, 2026, 357 restaurants across Canada will join Canada Beef’s fourth annual Burger It Forward campaign to address growing food insecurity, supporting local restaurants while raising funds for regional and national food banks.
Food bank use is at its highest in Canadian history, with close to 2.2 million visits to food banks this month. Today, one in four Canadians live in a food-insecure household, and nearly 23 per cent of food banks exhaust their supplies before meeting demand. Burger It Forward offers a straightforward way to support food banks, making it easy for both restaurants and consumers to contribute.
Each participating restaurant will spotlight a feature burger as part of the Burger It Forward campaign. For every featured burger sold, Canada Beef will donate the equivalent of one meal to Food Banks Canada, up to a maximum of 20,000 meals (based on Food Banks Canada’s meal metric of $1 = two meals). In addition, provincial cattle associations and/or partners will support their local communities through ground beef or cash donations to regional food banks.
Visit burgeritforward.ca for more information, including burger details, a map of participating restaurants and more. Canadians are also encouraged to share snaps of their experience enjoying Burger It Forward burgers on Instagram using the hashtag #BurgerItForward and tagging @lovecdnbeef.
