No food for 3 days

I got a call this morning. It was a friend asking if we could put together an emergency food basket for a family he knew. I asked him what the situation was. He explained to me that it was a family of 4, a Dad and 3 kids, and they haven't eaten since Friday. One wonders how that happens in Montreal. To think that while most of us were having a good time and eating whenever we felt like it this past weekend, within Kilometers is a family not eating at all. It is a little mind boggling. Obviously, we jumped to help out and put together some food. This week we will find out what other resources they need.

You would be surprised how many times last year we heard similar stories, of people too ashamed or timid to ask for help.

What a start to the week.

Peace,

K
