Thank you for helping to eradicate child hunger in our Province. CJOB and Corus Radio Winnipeg have raised over $300,000.00 over the past 2 and a half years for Hunger for Hope, in support of Winnipeg Harvest, so that no child goes to bed hungry.
CJOB and the Corus Radio Winnipeg group have teamed up with Winnipeg Harvest in a province-wide fundraising initiative dedicated to ending child hunger in Manitoba. Here are the facts:
Harvest feeds over 19,000 children a month compared to 5500 ten years ago
In March, 2009 over 13,000 school-aged children used the food bank compared to over 16,000 school-aged children this past March, 2010
A staggering 23.8% increase in school-aged food bank use
Winnipeg Harvest distributes meals and snack food to 63 community programs, 36 daycares and 26 schools
There are food banks in 7 universities/colleges including; U of M, U of W, RRCC, Yellowquill, Winnipeg Adult Education Centre, Horizon Learning Centre and Aboriginal Community Campus
1600 infants require emergency baby formula from Winnipeg Harvest each month
Winnipeg Harvest spends $100,000 for baby food and formula
Manitoba has one of the worst child poverty rates. Along with BC, Manitoba continues to experience the worst child poverty rates in Canada with 1 in 5 children living in poverty
In the last six years almost 40% of children have lived in poverty for at least one year
An Aboriginal child under six years of age is three times as likely to live in poverty as a non-Aboriginal child. Among all Aboriginal children under six in Winnipeg, 68% or nearly 7 in 10 live in families below the LICO
Many children of recent immigrants and refugees live in poverty. 1 in 3 children of recent immigrants live in poverty
In Manitoba 69.4% of all children of low-income children live in families where at least one income earner has a full-time job all year
One third of the families, experiencing hunger are often dual wage-earner families, the working poor
