Two of Canada's largest food banks, MoissonMontreal (Mtl) and FoodShare (TO) are now focussing on recession-hit families to provide them with access to fresh fruits and veggies. Bravo! When I volunteered at a foodbank, I was horrified at first by the 'junk' people donate. As if the homeless/poor really needed another Mac&Cheese Dinner! On the flip side ~ it was great to see how many tins of Mackerel and Sardines (yes, the cheap tins) were also donated.
