Is this what it really has come too....
My hometown is Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. When people think of Canada they think a land of opportunity and wealthiness. It's sad to say but even in Hamilton which has a huge population and is a pretty big city there are families who are homeless with no food or shelter, kids out on the streets, fathers jobless. It's a sad reality to face. There are 399 women, men, and children in emergency shelters every night, 2,436 women and children stayed in a Violence Against Women shelter during 2004/2005, Emergency shelter usage has more than doubled since 1995. So if people are homeless they are definitely hungry. How much do they eat in a day? Or even a week? Thank god for the food banks and hot meal programs we have all throughout the city. I know the statistics are outdated but they have been growing In March 2005, over 55,000 hot meals were served at meal programs. All we can do is donate to the food shelters, help in our churches, and help those close to us who are in need. It's sad to see but it's reality.
