White said most clientsare referred to her food bank by social service or-ganizations as well as orga-nizations that support vic- tims of abuse and humantrafficking.The food bank opened in2016 serving 25 to 35 fami- lies but that grown to asmany as 235 families."The pandemic hap-pened and when most foodbanks were closing down,going out of business, andcouldn't get any food, we were the opposite," ex-plains White.She said the food bankwas receiving food from community food drives, su-permarkets as well as fromSecond Harvest, a food res- cue charity based in Toron-to that picks up and distrib-utes food that would other-wise go to waste. "With the pandemicthey were coming fast andfurious and we couldn't say no because we were gettingfood," she explains. "It wasvery hard to tell people nowhen you have the food, but we didn't have the stor-age."As a temporary mea- sure the food bank was us-ing a nonmobile truck aswell as a trailer for storageand as well as running a re- frigerator truck — loanedto the food bank — on siteto keep perishable itemscold. But the increased activ-ity at the site prompted aseries of bylaw complaints including complaintsabout the vehicles on-siteand forced the food bank totemporarily close in Feb- ruary while the vehicleswere removed.White said the closure followed discussions withthe church as the propertyowners were the subject of the bylaw complaints.She admits the refriger- ator truck was loud butsaid it wasn't run at night."We'd continue to run itduring the day to keep the food safe and turn it off atnight," she said.At the end of the day, White said the vehicles onsite were a temporary solu-tion."Bottom line is, the mes- sage that I want to get out tothe public the KendalwoodFood Bank has outgrownthe church's basement, we want to continue servingour clients but we need aspace," she said. White adds that thechurch also needs the useof the basement for its pro-grams that have picked up now that meetings aren'tcancelled due to the pan-demic. She's hoping the com-munity can help the foodbank find a new home. "Any space right nowthat is bigger than what we have would help us," shesaid. Ben Earle, executive di-rector of Feed the Need in Durham, explains the Ken-dalwood food bank isn'talone in facing challengesmeeting expanding needfor specialty and fresh foodin Durham.As a pilot project Feed the Need has opened theMarket Food Bank in Osha-wa where people can shopfor food items that meet their dietary restrictions."At the Market FoodBank we put the food bank out and people essentiallyshop for what they need, al-lowing them better choiceto meet their dietary need," he said. "There's always achallenge to ensure wehave specialty foods like Halal, people may have dia-betes or other dietary re-strictions. That's always a challenge in the emergen-cy food system because we're kind of dependent ondonors."That food bank hasgrown from serving 30 fam- ilies a week to 115. In north Durham Nour-ish and Develop has a simi-lar model as the MarketFood Bank."I think that's the way togo, we need these programs to be more focused on pro-viding food people needand want versus just sort ofwhatever's donated," said Earle. "That doesn't meandonated food isn't needed,it absolutely is and it forms the foundation of what weprovide, but adding freshoptions is key and a lot ofsmall organizations aren't able to do that."They don't have accessto refrigeration. You have to maintain the cold chain.It's not like you put the gro-ceries in your trunk and go home, if you're distributingfood you need to transport it in a refrigerated truck orvan and those things have acost associated with them.Most of our organizations don't have access to thatoutside of working with usso that's one of the key chal-lenges, the infrastructure."It's not uncommon forfood banks to be run out ofchurch basements like Kendalwood and arestaffed by volunteers.Feed the Need is work-ing with other emergency food providers in Whitbyand the mayor's office todiscuss how organizations can work better together toaddress the growth in de-mand for food bank servic-es. "Other municipalitiesare having a similar con-versation," he said. "We're in a period of unprecedent-ed growth for demandaround food banks."

Alexander Harras Director of Legislative Services /Regional Clerk VISIT DURHAMREGION.COMTO READ CURRENT AND PAST INVESTIGATIONS Everyone deserves a place to call home; it is a basic human right. Yet,there are people in Durham Regionwithout a roof over their head. The homelessness crisis becamemore visible during the pandemic, asCOVID-19 closures forced many unshel-tered residents to the streets. Those with cellphones as a lifeline were often unableto charge them. Shopping and curbsidepickup was not an option for anyonewithout credit or debit cards. Washroom facilities were only open during certainhours of the day.Although businesses, supports and services may now be open, there arestill many people living on the streets.As of October 2022, 266 people were ex-periencing homelessness in Durham Region, which is up from 135 people inJanuary 2021. The causes of homelessness are complex, but the housing crisis is cer-tainly one of the contributing factors.Since 2005, home prices in Durham Re-gion increased by 282 per cent; one-bed- room apartments in Oshawa are rent-ing for $1,727 per month, in comparisonto $768 in 2008. In addition to access to housing, home-lessness can be a result of other economicissues, as well as mental and physicalhealth concerns. Despite these challeng- es, the Region of Durham remains com-mitted to helping ensure no one gets leftbehind or falls through the cracks. Help is available to those who con-sent to receive the support. This is an important point. While wedo have services available to help, each person must say yes to receiving thishelp. As heartbreaking as it may be towatch someone suffer, sometimes theydo not want help — and they have the right to say no. We can offer to help andrecommend services, but each individu-al must consent to receive this support. So, what are we doing? At Home In Durham, the DurhamHousing Plan (2014-2024), aims to endchronic homelessness in Durham. As part of this, the Region is committed tothe development of 1,000 new afford-able rental units by 2024 to support un- sheltered residents. The Region's outreach teams distrib-ute water, snacks, blankets and socks to vulnerable populations and connect them with community agencies for sup-ports. Local community hubs offer food,medical care, washroom facilities and avariety of supports in one convenient lo- cation. Plus, Housing First teams acrossDurham help with housing, service nav-igation and connections to available sup- ports for managing mental or physicalhealth issues, as well as addiction.We do not work alone. The Regionpartners with community organizations and support services to help people ontheir journey from homelessness tohousing. Together, Durham's Homeless- ness Support System helps eliminatebarriers to accessing safe and affordablehousing with the supports needed for lifestability. Last year, $22 million in govern- ment funding was allocated to support 39community agencies working to addresshomelessness, housing, mental health,human trafficking, youth services and food security.In 2021, the Region launched theCommunity Support Program, now re- ferred to as the Transitional SupportProgram (TSP). It's a support programthat allows case workers a chance towork alongside their clients on their journey to stabilize their lives. The TSP is about building trust andmeaningful relationships with clients. It's about helping everyone overcomebarriers to accessing required servicesand supports. Items such as financialbenefits, affordable and safe housing, medical care, addiction support, legalassistance, and more. To date, we have seen positive out- comes. The first person housed,through the TSP, has remained in theirapartment for more than two years.Others have secured seniors' housing, moved from transitional housing to in-dependent living, negotiated rentalagreements, connected with supportand food stability programs, and/orimproved their health and wellness. While we celebrate the successes,our focus remains on helping unshel- tered residents, and navigating thechallenges they face. Homelessness is a housing status; it isnot someone's identity. Everyone de- serves a place to call home, feel a sense ofbelonging, be treated with compassionand kindness, and to access needed sup- ports to reach their full potential.The Region remains committed toending chronic homelessness in Dur-ham Region; working to help our vul- nerable population ensure basic needsare met.

A local politician whoattended an event featur-ing far-right German poli-tician Christine Anderson says she was unaware thatthe party Anderson be- longs to has been linked toextreme anti-Islam and an-ti-immigrant views.Ward 1 city councillor Lisa Robinson recentlyposted on her personalFacebook page photos of herself at a recent eventwith Anderson when thelatter's tour made a stop inWhitby, stating she had an "incredible evening" withAnderson. "She is an amazingstrong independent wom-an and I am honoured to have had the chance tospeak with her," Robinson wrote.Although it was postedto her personal Facebookpage, a screenshot of the image has been circulatedand criticized."In the event promo- tions, Ms. Anderson is de-scribed as a heroine whofled Communist East Ger-many, and also a champion of the underdog and a reso-lute defender of humanrights for all," Robinsonsaid in a statement. "She isalso described as a beacon of transparency, truth,freedom, and justice — all tenets that I am equally aspassionate about."Anderson is a memberof AfD (Alternative for Deutschland), a far-rightGerman party. In 2016, theparty based part of its plat- form on opposition to Is-lam, calling for the ban ofIslamic symbols, includingburqas, minarets, and ad- han (call to prayer), and us-ing the slogan "Islam is nota part of Germany."It also featured cam-paign posters in 2018 with awoman in a burqa thatsaid: "Islam doesn't belong to Germany," and "Free-dom of the woman is notnegotiable." There was an-other poster in 2017 show- ing a smiling white preg-nant woman that said: "New Germans? We make them by ourselves."Pickering Durham Dis-trict School Board trustee Emma Cunningham wasconcerned that Robinsonmet with Anderson due toallegations of Islamophobia in Robinson's past — shewas dropped as a candidatewith the Conservative Party of Canada after somequestionable tweets.Cunningham notes Rob-inson has always claimed innocence, but questionshow she can be taken seri-ously after referring to an elected member of a partywith the aforementioned be-liefs as "an amazing strongindependent woman." But Robinson said An-derson spoke in an uplift-ing manner."She did not say one neg- ative word about any eth-nicity, group, religion, orcreed," Robinson said. Robinson said it was onlylater, when she read localpress coverage that she dis-covered some of her "party's past unacceptable rhetoric.Iam a firm believer that peo- ple can change and give them every opportunity todo so, and in my opinion,Ms. Anderson is an example of change. Let's start lettingthe past be the past."Pickering resident andcouncil watcher Frank Mc- Gilligan, who said he's a be-liever in freedom of speech,is not concerned by Robin- son attending the Ander-son event. "I don't agree with someof the things the MP has to say, but I do agree she hasthe right to say them and Iwon't judge one of our councillors for going to anevent and having a picturewith her when she also hasthe right to do that," he said.Robinson apologized forher "actions and lack ofoversight." "I will be more judiciousof the events that I attend,because my overarching goal has always been tohelp strengthen the com-munity, and not divide it,"she said. –With files from TimKelly and Torstar COUNCILLOR CRITICIZED FOR ATTENDING GERMAN MP'S EVENT NEWS POST TO PERSONALFACEBOOK PAGECIRCULATED AFTERFUNCTION FORFAR-RIGHTPOLITICIAN KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com 21 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , M a r c h 9 , 2 0 2 3 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m ALL CITY APPLIANCES Appliances repaired professionally. 40+ years experience.
