RT @FeedOntario: When we say participating in the municipal elections is more important than ever, this is what we mean. Every year we ask food bank visitors from across the province to share the challenges they’re facing with their elected representatives – and this year, here are just a few issues they highlighted. The lived experiences of these food bank visitors shine a light on the realities we see throughout Ontario: more people are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and housing and need to turn to food banks to get by. But decisions at all levels of government can make a meaningful difference for people and families facing hunger in our communities, and getting engaged by having informed conversations and casting your vote tomorrow is just one way we can all make an impact.

RT @LFairclo: When 1 in 10 Toronto residents rely on a food bank, and 35% of food bank users hold multiple jobs, we need to do more to address the root causes of food insecurity and unaffordability. With the team at Daily Bread Food Bank, we discussed long-term solutions to prevent seniors from becoming unhoused, and the need to replace the incarceration of unhoused people with humane, evidence-based solutions. We need to ensure everyone has access to appropriate food and housing to live with dignity. Thank you to Neil Hetherington and the entire team at Daily Bread Food Bank for your incredible work.
