Feed the Hungry - in Canada

According to Statistics Canada, in spring 2024, nearly half (45%) of Canadians reported that rising prices were greatly affecting their ability to meet day-to-day expenses, 12 percentage points higher than what it was two years earlier (33%). Rising prices have a disproportionate impact on lower-income people in Canada. Rising prices are affecting the ability of Canadians to meet their day-to-day expenses, their concerns with housing affordability, the likelihood that they will obtain food or meals from community organizations, their financial stress, and the relationship between financial stress and quality of life. While food banks are facing an increased number of users, various shelters across cities do need help too with providing meals to its users.

Aims to do: Sewa Canada International has launched its "Feed the Hungry in Canada" program in a few cities across Canada and aims to do more every month in more cities across Canada. The program involves providing:
1. Hot meals prepared by our volunteers to the needy.
2. Dry food donations by our volunteers to the needy.

Goal: $25,000.00

Collected: $2,100.00

Envisaging technology in the proposed project:

While most of the intended beneficiaries are the underprivileged and needy at shelters or missions in various cities, we will also attempt to address seniors in need or international students who may need help with dry food donations.

So far we have provided this service in Toronto, London, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver and aim to recruit new volunteers in other cities to carry out this service. We partner with other charities to deliver these meals. Our partners in this seva currently are

1. London, ON - Chinmaya Mission London (Canada) and Guru Nanak Mission Society

2. Toronto, ON - Toronto Jain Mandir

3. Edmonton, AB - We Together Better Community

4. Vancouver, BC- Tri-City Hindu Cultural Society

Measures to ensure inclusion:

A hot meal with fruit, bread, cookies/chips, its packaging and delivery can cost up to $5 per person. Please DONATE generously to help us feed the underprivileged in Canada. You may also direct your donations to a specific city of your choice by indicating the name of the city in the message field while making the donation. All donations are tax deductible in Canada.

If you wish to volunteer your time on this program, please email us at info@sewacanada.com.
