Between 2008 and 2009, there was a 53 per cent increase in the number of requests for support and an 84 per cent hike in the number of families and individuals that received assistance. As the needs rise, so too does the need for funds. Standing in line for a bowl of soup is meant to create awareness and provide a sense of what its like for the disadvantaged in this community, said Moro. Homelessness is a growing problem here, but it remains a hidden problem, she added. Some live in their car, live with a friend or head out of town for help. Buying a $50 ticket goes a long way to helping to alleviate the problem.
