These are Bernice's cue cards for her hunger project: Part 1

In this report, I will be investigating the issue of hunger in the GTA ( The Greater Toronto Area)
In particular, I will focus upon “People With Disabilities or Special Needs.” Questions to be answered are the following: 1: current statistics, 2: Whats the fight against hunger means to me, 3: What can my community and myself do to help; and 4: strategies implemented by both provincial and federal government.  
When people have disabilities or special needs, it can affect  people’s areas of people’s lives. This means that people have an influence on something of the lives of people, or sometimes people. 
Sometimes, they can suffer from hunger. By 1995, and there has been it increases 5.2% since 2007. Since 2008, there are +48% of people who lived in suburbs (half country, and half city), -16% in the city core, and +13% in overall Toronto, who go to food banks. In 2008, there were a total of 745,000 members, who visit or go to food banks. 
There were 2.6,000,000 meals sold in the bank. In 2006, there are 49% of people with disabilities who uses food banks. By 2016, +10% of people with disabilities, who uses food banks. That is a lot of people., you know? There are many things that we can do in our community to help those that suffer from hunger. Both the federal and provincial governments have implemented many strategies that are meant to help the hunger issue in Canada. Many people in the GTA that have disabilities or special needs suffer from hunger.
 Many research has shown that the food bank use in the GTA has gone up by 90% since 1995, and there has been a 5.2% increase since 2007. Some people who have a disability or special needs have a hard time finding work due to them being sick, which in some cases leads to them struggling to afford food. Research has also shown that 47% of people who use the food banks are people who either have a disability or have a serious illness.
In the 2016 “Who’s Hungry Report,” from “Daily Bread Food Bank,, they say “People who live in a disability, and those having a body with a specific kind.” Those people who lived in the entire lives in Canada, and those who were immigrants.
