Many tenants throughout Toronto have been struggling to get by over the past nine months as a result of financial difficulties created and exacerbated by the pandemic, and that's why residents of one Parkdale building decided to create their own food bank to help out their neighbours in these difficult times.
"We knew Parkdale had been hit hard with job losses. Back in the summer, as part of our outreach to expand the organizing, we did some tabling in the neighbourhood where we gave away food, as well as information about tenant organizing," said Hodgson.
