March 4 - Join Burnaby Food First at the Rally to Reduce Poverty in BC








This Saturday, come meet us @ noon at Library Square (350 W. Georgia) and raise your voice: call out for a strategy to end poverty in the province.






What does poverty mean to Burnaby Food First?



  • Students and employees cannot afford to eat 3 times a day

  • Invisible hunger: malnutrition results from a lack of affordable nutritious food

  • Families cannot afford to eat a variety of foods

  • People on fixed incomes may not be able to fit nutritious meals into their budget

  • More and more people do not have access to land, & cannot grow food to supplement their diet

  • Local farmers struggle to put food on our table



 



Raise your voice for empty stomachs! Come find Burnaby Food First at the rally:
