Hunger Awareness Week
May 7 to 11 is Hunger Awareness Week in Canada. The campaign was created to promote understanding about what life is like when food is out of reach. As part of this event, Caledon Community Services is holding a food box challenge. Participants like me will spend the week living on the same diet that a food bank client typically receives. I’ll be posting a daily blog about the experience on the In The Hills website.

Day 4 Perspective
Hunger is an insidious disease inflicting humanity. It’s no better or worse, be it in Caledon East or Port-au-Prince
Day 3 Dwindling Resources
For people who live like this week-in and week-out, I can only imagine the stress involved in endlessly fretting over making it until the next hamper.
Day 2 Dandelion Whine
“Can we forage? It’s dandelion season. They’re young and fresh right now. We should be taking advantage of that.”
Day 1 Counting Slices
Did you know there are 19 slices in a loaf of Dempster’s whole wheat bread? Was news to me.
