Demand for Food Share in North
Huron is up 28 per cent. The Board
of Directors of the North Huron
Community Food Share need our
help. They are seeking pressing
assistance for residents in our
communities. The current usage of
the program and the donations of
non-perishable food items/or
monetary donations are no longer
keeping up to the demand.
In 2009-2010 the increase in
demand is 28 per cent higher than
the previous period in 2008/2009.
Let us do whatever we can to
supplement the demand both in non-
perishable food and monetary
donations. The latter needed to
enable Food Share to acquire
perishable goods, such as dairy
products, bread, meat, fish, etc.
These figures speak only partially to
the growing gaps between fellow
citizens in this area as in all areas of
our province. This week, Oct. 22,
statistics were released in Ontario
that indicated welfare recipient
demand has almost doubled over the
last year. When will we, as a people,
put an end to this economic inequity
that creates such a two-tiered
society?
