Canadian Urban Political Geography

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the Daily Bread Food Bank is a NGO that provides a wide variety of resource for the hungry, since they do not merely focus on food delivery and distribution. The sense of public awareness they generate helps the poor to be treated fairly, outside of the limited attention the Canadian government has given to the issue. The paper further discusses how in this manner, the DFDB helps the poor find food, creates public awareness, and generate private sector interest in helping the poor.

From the Paper:

"This urban political geographic study will evaluate the Daily Bread Food Bank (DBFB) of Toronto. By presenting the mission statement from the website, one can realize that the aims of the DBFB are providing a large-scale distribution of food to many smaller food banks that exist within the city. In this manner, DBMB provides an umbrella NGO that helps to coordinate food donations, deliveries, and public awareness to those that are hungry or are destitute in the Toronto area. The reliance on food banks in Canada is one major reason that Daily Bread Food Bank has become such a large organization. "
