My column today @TheAtlantic is about kindness, and how practicing it can make you a lot happier. It also tells you how to do so—and about the forces holding you back. (1/7)

Grace Pascoe Food Bank dealing with high demand during its evening opening hours on Thursdays – Beach Metro Community News https://t.co/FfvEH04bnl
We used to see roughly 60k client visits a month. That doubled during the pandemic-this past March it reached 270,000!
What we at @DailyBreadTO are experiencing is not unique to Toronto and cannot be fixed by charity.
We can do better.

How many client visits did #Toronto food banks see in March? Enough to fill the Rogers Centre nearly 7 times. #DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington talks with @CBCNews' @DavidWCochrane about the food insecurity crisis, and how we can fight it. Watch 👉 https://t.co/zuLuGqEyqV @PnPCBC
“We are in a crisis,” says #DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington. “We are at a breaking point and need action now.” #Toronto food bank client visits have quadrupled vs. pre-pandemic rates. Stream today’s press conference live here: https://t.co/ognKHfxJ3m
An important point being made by @NCHetherington yesterday. At our own food bank in the upper beach (agency of @DailyBreadTO) we are seeing this change - as well as overwhelming numbers of families. Please ask your local members (city, provincial and federal) to act.
Food prices are so high that about one-third of #Toronto food bank clients are employed. "If you have a job, that doesn't guarantee that you're not going to need a food bank." -#DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington to the #HouseofCommons agriculture committee last night. #cdnpoli
