Who's Hungry 2009 Youth Guide to Hunger in the GTA

Daily Bread has a vision to end hunger in our communities. In order to achieve this, it is crucial for us to raise awareness of the issues that contribute to hunger and poverty. Each year Daily Bread Food Bank conducts research to help us gain a better understanding of these issues. We produce a Who’s Hungry report based on the research collected through our annual survey of food bank clients. These surveys help us gain an enhanced understanding of the root causes of hunger, help us inform and educate the pubic and ultimately improve the lives of people struggling with hunger.

In 2008 Daily Bread created the Who’s Hungry Youth Guide, which was created to help youth understand the issues and scope of poverty and hunger in the GTA. It’s important that we educate the youth in our communities about these issues. Young people are the future of our community and can create innovative solutions to promote change, but it all starts with education.

Our 2009 Who’s Hungry Youth Guide has just come out and we encourage each and every one of you to read through it.

CBC Radio One Sounds of the Season on December 4

On December 4th, CBC Radio One will again host Sounds of the Season – an all day musical extravaganza supporting local food banks across the GTA. Last year, Sounds of the Season helped raise around $300,000 for Daily Bread Food Bank – which goes a long, long way in helping us to continue fighting hunger in Toronto.

This year, starting at 5:30 a.m. (we’ll be there much earlier!) Metro Morning will begin broadcasting live from the Glenn Gould Studio in downtown Toronto. There will be some amazing musical guests throughout the day, including Hawksley Workman, Jully Black, Matt Dusk, K-OS, Toronto Mass Choir and Ohbijou. For a full schedule of shows and guests click here.

Please come down and join us – bid on the silent auction, or donate money and have your picture taken at the Sounds of the Season photo booth!

Non-perishable food donations are always welcome. Your donations are so important – please support your local food bank this holiday season. For the most up to date information on Sounds of the Season, follow @TorontoCBC or @DailyBreadTO on twitter. To donate to Daily Bread Food Bank through Sounds of the Season, you can call us at 416-203-0050 or you can make a donation right now online.

CBC Sounds of the Season Twitter contest!

If you aren’t on Twitter, here’s one very good reason to join: the Sounds of the Season Twitter contest! All this week, (at random times) our friends over at the Ontario Association of Food Banks will be asking trivia questions or requesting RT’s. The first ten people to answer a trivia question (or the first ten people to RT when asked) will be entered into a draw to win fabulous tickets to see George Stroumboulopoulos on The Hour. There will be two sets of tickets to give away, and @OAFB will announce the lucky winners on Twitter this Friday.

@DailyBreadTO will also be twittering away – if you miss an @OAFB tweet, don’t worry – we’ll be reminding you all week and letting you know when you have a chance to win.

Thanks to @TorontoCBC for the tickets. Remember – come down to 250 Front Street West on December 4th to see some great musical guests, fantastic radio shows all while supporting a good cause – your local food bank.
