World Food Day – Leave No One Behind Community Eatery Challenge<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Food Day, October 16th, was established in 1981 to spread awareness \u00a0 about world hunger, poverty, and to inspire change and is celebrated in 150 countries worldwide. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cLeave No One Behind\u2026 Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment and a Better Life\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c2022 finds us with an ongoing pandemic, conflict, a climate that won\u2019t stop warming, rising prices and international tensions; all of which are affecting global food security. So, we need to inspire governments, communities, and individuals to support the development of a sustainable world where everyone, everywhere has regular access to enough nutritious food.\u201d FAO<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, the New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society,<\/strong> as part of their continued work in addressing community food security issues, is recognizing World Food Day on October 16th with the Leave No One Behind Community Eatery Challenge<\/em><\/strong> as part of Homelessness Action Week (HAW), October 8 – 16, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge will invite community members to visit local eateries to support local business while also providing them with an opportunity to raise funds for community food security initiatives that provide access to food, training, and other opportunities. What will be supported will depend on the amount of funds raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the promotion will work: <\/strong> Between Oct 8-16, 2022, participating eateries ask their customers to contribute to the challenge.  It is up to every business to decide the amount to collect and how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
