"In Canada we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms; I wish that it included the right to food and shelter so that food banks would become redundant."

Pauline Apperly, Director, Our Town Food bank, Tottenham, Ontario

"I volunteer at a lunch program serving people who do not have enough money to buy food. It is time for the government to live up to its responsibility, and stop relying on volunteers to shoulder the burden that should be covered by our tax-funded social services."

Teresa Porter, Volunteer, LAMP Community Lunch Program, Newmarket, Ontario

"You cannot live off a food bank diet, it acts as an aid for people. It's not a solution to people that cannot afford food."

Brian Morris, 2015 Food Bank Challenge Participant, Constituency Manager & Executive Assistant, York Region

"I began volunteering with the food bank in 1990 thinking I would do this for a couple of years; here I am 22 years later. The government needs to ensure that people have enough income for at least the basics."

Alf Judd, Former Director of Operations, Georgina Community Food Pantry, Sutton, Ontario
