On May 9^th and 10^th during the lunch hour students from FH Collins, Whitehorse Elementary, Vanier and Porter Creek Secondary will be greeting people downtown on Main Street. They will be sharing our green apple with people and giving out information on Hunger Awareness. Say hi to these young people who are taking time out to help those in need.

What does ‘giving it up’ really mean?  It’s as easy as three simple steps:

Give It Up – Close to 900,000 Canadians have had to rely on food banks this past month.  We’re asking Canadians to understand what it’s like to have food out of reach by fasting for a day and giving up breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Give a Shout – Share your experience by going online to show your support via Facebook, Twitter, a blog,

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

Together, Canadians can make an impact on the solvable issue of hunger in Canada and find solutions to hunger in communities across Canada.
