COMMUNITY KITCHENS

A new weapon in battle c on hunger ©

-O MANY of our
Thanksgiving tra-
ditions revolve
. around food.

‘Yet for-some, it’s a challenge
to put food on the table.

‘World Food Day on October
16th, is-a time to think about
where Gur food comes from,
and where it’s going to.

Across Canada, there are
about one million children
living below the poverty line..

That’s one child in six.

Living in a low income fam-
ily puts them at a lot of risk
for poor nutrition and hunger.

Here in Terrace, the figures
are no different, but there’s a
variety of solutions to the
problem of hun per.

_ One answer is to donate to
the Food Bank.

The Food Bank feeds every-
one, not only people on Social
’ Assistance, but an increasing
number of people from work-
ing families.

They're just having ¢ a harder
time making ends meet. But
it’s the mission of the Food

Bank to help people through
those tough times, with the
gift of food.

Ina way, it’s the most valu-
able currency of all: the build-
ing blocks of life.

While all donations are
gratefully accepted, there ate
some items that the food bank
does need more of. These are
foods like powdered milk,

canned meats and fish, peanut
butter, and canned beans.

Baby foods always make a
good donation. Or, you could

make a gift of staple goods
like macaroni, rice or dried
beans and legumes.

Another idea is for people
with gardens. Produce dona-
tions is one way to make good
use of the excess bounty of
your home gardens.

This can be one solution to
the *“What can I do with ALL
of these Carrois and Zuc-
chini?”’ dilemma.

Foods can be donated direct-
ly to the Food Bank at 3304
Sparks Street. They can also
be dropped off at bins in your
local grocery store. If you
have no food to donate, but
still want to help out, the Food
Bank will gratefully accept
donations of cash (or che-
ques!)

Another answer to the prab-

lem of hunger in Terrace is to
join or support a Community
Kitchen, This is a very old
idea, whose time has come
again, Long ago, People used
to. gather together to prepare
their food in groups, This
meant that all the people and

“their families would be fed.

Everyone would also have the
benefits of socializing, and the
support of the group.

In a Community kitchen,
much the same thing happens.
A group of people get togeth-
er, and decide on what recipes
to cook.. They pool their
money, and go out to shop for
the récipes they’ve chosen. By
pooling their resources, they
save money and time. Money
is saved because things are
cheaper by the dozen, That is,
the more you buy of some-
thing, the less you have to pay

for cach single item. People
