- One of ten short stories of PWRDF and partner projects.
- "In 2007 PWRDF joined the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, a group of church relief and development organizations whose collective goal is to end world hunger. When disaster strikes, we can leverage the dollars raised for emergency food relief by pooling our resources with other members in buying supplies such as rice, beans, cooking oil, salt and sorghum. Together we have made an impact in some of the world's worst disaster zones, including earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal, famine in South Sudan and most recently, Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. For every dollar donated to PWRDF's equity in the Foodgrains Bank, Global Affairs Canada matches it four time. Now that's leverage ". [Text of entire article.]

- More and more Canadian Anglicans are involved in Community Ministries. "This past spring [2022] the Anglican Foundation of Canada awarded $35,000 in grants to exactly these kinds of ministries. In the Diocese of Niagara, a grant for $15,000 will help the parish of Holy Trinity in Welland, Ontario, expand their community outreach. 'We felt we were being invited by God to provide a nourishing, hot breakfast, daily for our neighbours who are experiencing food insecurity and housing challenges', says Jim Butts, Treasurer and Coordinator of the Community Breakfast Program'".
- "In the Diocese of Ottawa, a grant for $15,000 will help Trinity Anglican Church fund renovations to Trinity House, formerly the Mabel Gordon House. 'This innovative project will enable students and young adults to live together within a covenant community, supporting one another in their spiritual growth and in their work or academic life', says the Rt. Rev. Shane Parker, Bishop of Ottawa".
- "Since 2010, AFC has provided $2.1 million in funding to Community Ministries. With the continued support of loyal donors, local churches can be catalysts for community-building efforts that benefit a variety of vulnerable populations".

- "A $100,000 donation from a Canadian Anglican philanthropist has enabled the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), the Anglican Church of Canada's relief and development agency, to restart a food distribution project in South Sudan, a country facing severe hunger. Richard Bird, a retired Enbridge executive who worships at St. Peter's Anglican Church in Calgary, Alta., made the donation last March [2018] through the Ptarmigan Foundation, a charitable organization he runs with his family" (p. 1). "Bird requested the funds go toward restarting a food assistance program PWRDF had overseen in South Sudan in late 2017; and in September 2018, the agency began a new series of eight food distributions which will continue to April 2019. The program will see cereal, beans, lentils, vegetable oil and salt given to families in need" (p. 1). "The new country, which gained its independence from Sudan in 2011, has been embroiled in an ongoing civil war since 2013. Armed factions that had previously fought together against Sudan's central government are now fighting against each other and indiscriminately killing civilians" (p. 1). "Because of the country's political instability, Bird found one of the biggest challenges facing his attempts to help was in finding a 'reliable, trustworthy' way of getting food to people safely" (p. 11). "A number of partners are assisting PWRDF in the project. The United Church of Canada; ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) Canada; Mennonite Central Committee and Presbyterian World Service and Development have also contributed money. The food is being distributed on the ground by ADRA South Sudan, which does joint assessments of food and other needs to respond to the communities' contexts" (p. 11).

- "PWRDF invites Anglicans to engage with farmers in a growing project. Your PWRDF Diocesan Representative through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank's regional representative can identify an existing local growing project near you that would welcome participation. Or start a new Grow Hope project ... 1. An individual, parish or youth group would like to support a Grow Hope project by sponsoring an acre or part of an acre. They make their donation to the parish or the diocese, depending on who is the main contact with the farmer. (Tax receipts are issued by the parish or diocese as usual.) 2. The farmer grows the crop. 3. The farmer and parish group get to know each other. Parishioner field trips or work visits can be set up. 4. Once the crop is harvested and sold, the money is donated back to the parish. 5. The diocese or parish transfers the donation to PWRDF's equity account at the Foodgrains Bank, indicating which Grow Hope project the funds are from".

'Never seen anything this bad' : Ministries struggle to meet spike in demand for shelter, food as unhoused people risk death on the streets

- More homeless people have been dying each year of drug toxicity in Toronto since the COVID pandemic began. "According to Zachary Grant, community director at Holy Trinity, this is a result of increased stress during the pandemic pushing vulnerable people towards drugs, combined with increasing isolation as shelters where staff might otherwise be able to intervene have become less accessible" (p. 6).
- "Nor is it just Toronto where people on the margins are facing more trouble finding housing and greater danger on the streets. Vicki Potter is co-chair of the diocese of New Westminster's task force on homelessness and housing affordability ... 'I'm in my mid-60s, and I've certainly never seen anything this bad' she says ... 'Inflation and the pandemic added to what was already a horrible problem'" (p. 6). "'Our hope is that every parish will see some opportunity to ramp up their programs or start a program -- start thinking about homelessness and housing affordability as part of their worship or their study', [Potter] says" (p. 6).
- Zachary Grant of Holy Trinity Toronto says the issue is "the increasing privatization of urban space. As rising prices make housing harder to find and afford and condominium developments turn walkways and parks into security-patrolled private property, those without housing are finding it harder to find places where they can be at any time day or night without being kicked out or told to move along" (p. 6).
- "At St. George's Anglican Church in Moncton, N.B., a drop-in program for homeless people was reported by the CBC to have gone from 15 regular visitors to 90 over the course of the past year" (p. 6).
- "So when Trinity Square [in Toronto] became the site of a sizeable encampment of tents in the winter of 2020, Holy Trinity encouraged the people living in them to stay until they could find accommodations elsewhere. That decision has been unpopular among both business owners in the area and the City of Toronto, says Grant" (p. 6).
- "Especially at risk are elderly people, refugees and young families who are having trouble paying their rent as the cost of living rises" (p. 7).
- "One way that churches have historically helped is by using buildings on their own property to provide affordable housing for vulnerable members of their communities. The diocese of Ottawa, for example, has had parishes running affordable housing for decades, says Canon Peter John Hobbs, director general of the diocese's community ministries" (p. 7).
- "[H]ousing isn't the only way for churches to help. Food ministries are a lynchpin, both in the lives of people living on the street who need a hot mean and people struggling to make rent, who can benefit from saving some money on their grocery bill. This has become the primary element of ministry at Holy Trinity [Toronto]" (p. 7).
- Eddy and Dave have used the services at Holy Trinity and helped to provide them. "'You can go to some places and they just don't care', says Eddy. 'It feels like they just want to give you a bag lunch and get you going'. In a climate that can feel increasingly dehumanizing for people living on the streets, they both point to Holy Trinity's ministry as an example of what it looks like to treat the unhoused with dignity. 'The staff's good here', says Dave. 'Everybody's got a smile around here'" (p. 7).
