Welcome to the "Do the Math" Challenge Cambridge blog!

From October 4-8, 2010, several members of the Cambridge community will be eating from a typical food hamper in order to draw attention to poverty in our community and what many people on social assistance experience on a regular basis. This is in support of the Put Food in the Budget Campaign, which is calling for a $100 Healthy Food Suppliment in Ontario to support the health and well being of all Ontarians.

Follow along as the participants share their thoughts.

thanks

My thanks to everyone who made this event possible.
A couple final reflections:
  • the Food Bank does an amazing job caring for people and helping them out with what they have.
  • If the Food Bank had healthier food they would offer that to people, so I came away thinking how can I and everyone else donate healthier foods?
  • Yes we cannot let the government off the hook to care for people.
  • Can we also link with farmers here in our area to get fresh veggies and fruits?
  • As I reflected over thanksgiving on this my compassion has increased 100% for folks out there living live this.
  • I recommend everyone do the challenge once a year. It will keep us humble and caring for those facing difficulties in life.
We have an amazing community here, together lets keep working on this!
