By the time the drive was over, about 30 van loads of potatoes made their way across the continent and many more letters made their way back, to thank the farmers for their generosity. There are food banks in all the cities of Canada and in some smaller places like Port Hope. There is none in Oshawa. One of busiest emergency food banks is in Toronto at Stop 103. It is five minutes to noon. Outside the doors of the church that houses the community-based, non profit agency agency a group, of people, waits. A large unshaven man paces back and forth, glaring at the locked doors every few minutes, while a young couple sit quietly on the steps reading the Want Ads together, and sharing a cigarette. This morning there are two newcomers in the group, 23 year old Ellen and her six year old son. While Ellen's face is new to Stop 103-her story is much like that of other women, who have waited outside outside the door of the food bank. Ellen has been married twice. Last fall she left her second husband husband because he had abused her. He kept their car and apartment including including her clothing and furniture. Since the separation, she's worked off and on as a waitress and a milk store manager and has had to leave her young boys aged two, four and six, with different relatives. She has even boarded with family herself but now she has exhausted their generosity and her monthly welfare cheque of $700 won't arrive for another two weeks. Ellen's rent - $160 a week for a small room in a noisy, rundown boarding house - is overdue and she feels frustrated and desperate. She didn't eat dinner last night but then it's not the first time she has gone without when there wasn't enough to go around. But this week she feels she's really hit a wall so she has turned to Stop 103 for help. Ellen is one of 150,000 Canadians who use emergency food programs every month.
