[homeles_ot-l] Fwd: Poverty in Ontario: Do the Math!

[Terrie]

Poverty in Ontario is at an all time high. As the economic crisis grows, so
does the number of people relying on social assistance and food banks.

Does a single person on social assistance receive enough income to live with
health and dignity? Do The Math to find out!

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 do 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.

Sincerely,
