Our annual survey is in! Many of our community members found that not only is the Alex CFC an important source of nourishing food, but it was also a place where they felt a sense of community, support and connection.

Glad to join Disability Without Poverty's Better the Benefit kickoff!
Great to connect with @AccessAlliance & @APlaceForFood to advocate for #DisabilityWithPossibility, and a properly funded Canada Disability Benefit to ensure food security for those living with disabilities.

[Right To Food @RightToFoodCA]

It's great to see MPs calling on the Finance Minister to fund the #CDB in this budget. CFCC supports this - people with disabilities cannot afford to wait.

As you know, I firmly believe in the importance of the Canada #Disability Benefit.

I advocated for it in the beginning and I want you to know that I haven’t stopped. I won’t stop until it’s a reality.

Our team members live in many different places. Staff writer and editor Tom lives in St. John's, Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland). He sometimes walks along Mundy Pond to get some fresh air and visit the local wildlife, and he also enjoys visiting surrounding areas like Portugal Cove.

We are deeply disappointed in the Fall Economic Statement. There was no mention of the term “food insecurity” despite it affecting 1 in 5 people (that’s 6.9 million Canadians) and counting.

🧵 The 2024 Food Price Report estimates that a family of four will spend up to $700 more on food in the coming year than in 2023. This is devastating news.

[Right To Food @RightToFoodCA]

3/4: This report just builds on what we already know: food insecurity is at crisis levels in Canada. Urgent government policy intervention is needed.

@foodfirstNL @C4HSchoolFood @foodbankscanada @proofcanada 2/2: This new plan has several strong points, including its approach to child poverty + increasing income support. But there's a lot more work ahead to make lasting progress on poverty + food insecurity.
