Dear CAFB Partners and Friends, 

  

Please find attached a copy of the Canadian Association of Food Banks’
HungerCount 2007 report. It will be released to the public today at 11:00
am. 

  

The 11th annual HungerCount reports on levels of food bank use nationally
and provincially, and provides information on sources of income, household
composition, and – for the first time – housing situation of individuals and
families assisted by food banks. HungerCount is the only annual national
survey of food banks and emergency food programs in Canada. 

  

The HungerCount is an essential resource for gauging the level of hunger and
poverty in Canada. We hope that you will be involved in the release by
passing the report on to your own partners and friends. 

  

Regards, 

  

Shawn Pegg

Chers partenaires et amis de l'ACBA,

 

Veuillez trouver ci-joint une copie du Bilan-Faim 2007, rédigé par
l'Association canadienne des banques alimentaires. Il sera présenté au
public aujourd'hui à 11:00 heures.

 

Le 11e Bilan-Faim annuel révélera la situation actuelle de l'utilisation des
banques alimentaires tant au niveau national que provincial; il donnera de
l'information sur les sources de revenu, la composition des ménages et, pour
la première fois, la situation du logement des personnes et familles qui
reçoivent de l'aide des banques alimentaires. Le Bilan-Faim est le seul
sondage national au Canada portant sur les banques alimentaires et les
programmes alimentaires d’urgence.

 

Le Bilan-Faim est une ressource essentielle pour mesurer le niveau de la
faim et de la pauvreté au Canada. Nous espérons que vous vous impliquerez
dans l'annonce de ces résultats en passant le rapport à vos propres
partenaires et amis.

 

Amitiés,

 

Shawn Pegg
