Hunger Awareness Week

May 7-11, 2012


Hunger Awareness Week is a week-long initiative that challenges Canadians to learn more about the issue of hunger in our country and to take action to make a difference for those in need.

Canadians can help in three simple ways – Give It Up, Give a Shout, and Give It Out:

Give It Up:        Give up your meals for a day, lunch for a week, or a staple food item. Walk in the shoes of hunger to begin to understand what it means to go without food, experiencing the effects of hunger first hand.

Give a Shout:    Share your experience by going online to show your support via Facebook, Twitter or blogging.

Give It Out:       Donate food, funds or your time to a local food bank.
