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?
