Share Our Strength
Share Our Strength is the parent organization to Taste
of the Nation. Taste of the Nation takes place in 100 North American
cities, giving restaurants the opportunity to 'share their strength'
in the fight against hunger and poverty, while making it the largest
culinary benefit to fight hunger and poverty in the world. In the past
11 years over $550,000 has been raised in Vancouver and $1.9 million
in Canada.
Share Our Strength works to alleviate and prevent hunger
and poverty in Canada, North America and around the world. By supporting
food assistance, treating malnutrition and other consequences of hunger,
and promoting economic independence among people in need, Share Our
Strength meets immediate demands for food while investing in long-term
solutions to hunger and poverty.
To meet its goals, Share Our Strength mobilizes industries
and individuals to contribute their talents to its anti-hunger efforts,
and creates community wealth to promote lasting change. 55 million dollars
in grants have been distributed to more than 1000 anti-hunger and anti-poverty
organizations since it's founding in 1984.
