World FOOD DAY !!!

TODAY is

World Food Day.

A day to remember those in our world

who do not have enough food.

Unfortunately,

in Canada today,

those who are experiencing food security and access issues,

is a growing demographic.

-----

Today in Brandon Manitoba the

Farm Credit Canada

Drive Away Hunger Campaign

is wrapping up with events throughout the city.

All food collected here in Brandon

will be donated to the work and ministry of

Samaritan House Ministries,

who run a food bank (among other things), and

who partner with Helping Hands to provide

a soup kitchen and a place of care and support,

to those in need.

I have been honoured with the opportunity to speak

at one of the stops ...

... my message is simple:

This is a solvable problem.

In a world of plenty, there is only one excuse for hunger:

GREED.

Stay tuned - more to come ...

I'm off to spend World Food Day,

helping to collect food for my neighbours ...
