Give the Gift of Dignity This Holiday Season

Want to give the Gift of Dignity this Holiday Season?

Sign our Petition to Put Food in the Budget of our neighbours on social assistance. An immediate increase of $100/month to enable people to purchase healthy food is a gift that:

• combats hunger and injustice
• reduces reliance on our already over-burdened food banks and volunteers
• is a start at eliminating some of the wasted  time and energy that goes into maintaining our systemic, second rate food system for the poor.
• is a first step towards raising rates to adequate levels that reflect the real cost of living in Ontario.
• restores the right of individuals to purchase their own healthy food
• is simply the right thing to do.

Thanks to all of you who sign this petition and help to restore some balance in a world where Charity cannot redress poverty and inequity.
