"You know that you are poor when you need to wait to give your child his asthma medicine because you can't afford the aero-chamber."

Join The Stop Community Food Centre and the campaign to Put Food in the Budget and help us reduce poverty.

STEP 1: Start by taking the survey and Do the Math. What would you need to make ends meet if your situation changed and you had to rely on social assistance? If you were a single person on social assistance, what would you need?

Would you have to move? How much would you need for rent and groceries? Is a telephone or internet connection a necessary expense? What about a cup of coffee or having a friend over for dinner? Do the Math and compare your results to what single people on social assistance receive each month.

If you are convinced that social assistance is inadequate to live with health and dignity, you will have a chance to make your voice heard.
