Food
In a country as wealthy as ours, no one should go hungry, yet we feed hundreds of people a day. In the last year, Souls Harbour RESCUE Mission provided more than 100,000 meals to men, women, and children!
These meals were distributed through our soup kitchen, men’s and women’s facilities, and a variety of holiday meals.
With respect to poverty and the inability to obtain the resources needed to meet an individual’s basic human needs, such as food, the following quote paints an accurate picture:
“Poverty is a reality for many people in Regina and it affects every area of a child or youth’s life. Poverty is an issue for many families in Regina. Poverty has been linked to unemployment, low minimum wage, low levels of literacy, inadequate educational opportunities and racism. Without adequate resources, basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, emotional and social support, safety and health are difficult to meet.” – The Council on Social Development Regina, Inc.
