Feed Nova Scotia feeds thousands of nova Scotians every year, sending food and support out to towns and communities all across the province weekly.

The Hunger Count

Catherine Schmidt

Posted by Robert Doublett

Depending on the months, Feed Nova Scotia might find itself helping 30 thousand Nova Scotians all across the province with their daily nutritional requirements.

They do this through partnerships with local food banks.

We will talk about how Feed Nova Scotia stabilizes the Food Bank system in this province,  but for a look at the national picture.

We have reached Catherine Schmidt, the Executive Director of Food Banks Canada.

This organization gathers an annual hunger count and makes public the most current figures and recommendations for solving the problem nation wide.
