FOOD INSECURITY IN RIVERSIDE
We break down how gentrification, an inflated cost of living and three years of COVID have worsened the impacts of food insecurity and precarity in Riverside, a neighbourhood in the east-end of Toronto's downtown.
To kick off our January Action Journey, we're publishing five stories that unpack local solutions and report on community actions on food insecurity in Riverside.
RSVP for our Winter Marketplace event, which will feature 20 local vendors, live music and community conversations with Riverside residents about how to tackle food insecurity.
Coming soon.
