This document discusses a community event held in Durham Region, Ontario to raise awareness about local hunger issues. Statistics show that over 50,000 Durham residents, or 9% of the population, regularly face hunger. The event used different meal representations to demonstrate the disparity between income levels - 32% received a higher-income meal, 26% received an average meal, and 22% received a meal typical of a soup kitchen. The goal was to bring awareness to hunger in the community and encourage support for organizations and government programs addressing the issue.
