The Stop Community Food Centre
A community food centre called The Stop is trying to raise awareness of the inadequacy of social assistance in Ontario. They are participating in a campaign to show policy makers how inadequate social assistance hinders access to healthy food. They invite you to visit their website and complete a survey called "Do the Math" - calculate how much money you think a person on social assistance needs to live a decent but basic life. LARC computers available.
