So excited for an in person @FeedOntario conference with my friends from Feed Niagara! Looking forward to learning from my food bank colleagues over the next few days #ourcommunityatwork
Thankful for the opportunity to represent the charitable sector & share challenges and recommendations during today's Ministry of Red Tape Reduction roundtable discussion
Great to speak with leaders from Ontario's not-for-profit and charitable sectors about their ideas to reduce red tape and make it easier for their organizations to work with the government!

Social assistance recipients are still experiencing an even larger gap between the income they receive and their essential living costs. In 2022, ODSP recipients fell $832 below the poverty line, and OW recipients face an even greater $1,327 shortfall.

The numbers are alarming. More people are turning to food banks, struggling to make ends meet. We were supposed to be a temporary measure & 30 years later we're breaking records. We need to do better
For Giving Tuesday we asked some of our supporters to share their #unseflie, which is a message as to why they choose to do good in their community.
Here are some of their responses.

This #NationalHousingDay, we're joining our partners at @votehousingca calling on the federal government to ensure that housing is a central part of any plans to relieve cost-of-living pressures across the country. TAKE ACTION ➡️ https://t.co/tthEY0x1MZ
"If you solve the housing problem, you solve the hunger problem."
"Modern mass homelessness is 100% the result of public policy."

Our kids aren't in school today but they are learning. About what makes a good leader, how to stand up for yourself & those who support you, to value education & fair compensation, about democracy & this shameful moment in @fordnation Ontario's history. We stand with @CUPEOntario
