Hunger Awareness Week

On Thursday March 22nd the UofT Scarborough Chapter promoted hunger awareness issues and raised attention to food security and poverty in their community.

“My team together managed to collect $200.07 exactly within 1 hour and a half as well, we raised awareness to the entire school including the profs and staff and management by handing out our MX cards, pamphlets, we wore our MX tshirts and made tons of posters including our main one which we each held up while walking around the school.”

Coming up…. 

U of T will be hosting a sandwich run on March 30th around 3:00 pm

“We will be bringing 6 sub sandwiches purchased from Subway to Downtown Toronto to be distributed out to homeless people on the streets who are undecided with what they prefer to eat. If they don't want the sandwiches then we will simply ask them what they would like to eat and if it is within distance and budget then we will buy the preferred meal and give it to them. This event will run all day and at the end of the day we will be donating all of our cheques, raised clothing and non-perishable food items to several food banks across Toronto.

We will be taking photos and videos of the event that will be added to our club campus video and photo compilation for the course of our 2 years showcasing our experience with Meal Exchange at the UTSC campus. This video will be posted onto our FB page and sent out to UTSC to put up on their website or promote it somehow (to raise recognition to MX as a whole for next year).”
