Feed the Hungry in Chilliwack, BC, Canada

Giveth Love

Mitch 

I live in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. The indigenous Stolo people have lived in this area for 10,000 years. Today Chilliwack has about 100,000 residents and a severe homelessness problem with a disproportionate number of indigenous. There have been times when the nearby city of Vancouver has forced emigration of homeless to Chilliwack by bus. A free one-way ticket. The warm climate of Southwestern BC is a haven for homeless. I want to feed the local homeless and hungry population. I believe filling a person's belly can make a big difference in the world. People will be kinder and more productive after eating a healthy lunch. I will buy use $250 of food to make healthy sandwich-based lunches (turkey, ham &amp; peanut butter &amp; jam [vegan option!]). I will buy from local businesses where available. These meals will also include a small bottle of milk, some vegetables, a piece of fruit and a cookie. The next day we will distribute these to the local homeless populations. We will direct one hundred towards gas and vehicle maintenance and one hundred fifty towards room &amp; board expenses. I will create a new Facebook Page called Feed Chilliwack and post pictures of the gritty smiling faces of our lunch recipients and the food &amp; gas receipts. This will allow donors and the public to see and get inspired by our efforts. If it goes well it will be repeated. My team is made of myself, a 44 year old man, and my 16 year old daughter.

In approximately 2 months I will close the donation phase and move on to the feeding phase which will be pro-rated. So if we only get 50% of the target fund donated, every budget item will get reduced by 50%. Thanks so much for the donations already received! We are so grateful for your help.

Update #1

<h1>The Facebook page is live! ﻿😊﻿</h1> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Feed-the-Hungry-in-Chilliwack-BC-Canada-105299945168415" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Feed-the-Hungry-in-Chilliwack-BC-Canada-105299945168415</a> Also, we are reducing the waiting period from 2 months to 1 month because we simply cannot wait so long to start handing out food. The team is much too excited for that ! Also, we will be requesting bread donations from Silver Hills Bakery, a smaller local organic sprouted-grain bakery that is big enough to be able to donate food. Standby for the next update and thanks for reading.

Update #2

<h1>Wonderful Update!</h1> <h2>We are expanding the program to include basic web3 fin-tech equipment and useage!</h2> In cooperation with @Blazingthirdeye and Gitcoin Grants Round 11 this project is expanding to include a basic web3 fin-tech education session. This session will be conducted in small group and 1 on 1 settings and cover the basic equipment selection use and maintenance. The session will conclude with an introduction to the Ethereum blockchain network and true decentralized finance &amp; associated tools. There will be a short introduction to non-fungible tokens. All technical instruction and equipment will be provided by @Blazingthirdeye. Now when our participants are finished they will feel nourished, educated and confident. They will be freshly equipped to succeed in a world that is holding them back. Who knows we might just find the next Beeple NFT artist... Thank you so much to everyone who has donated! We will provide more updates soon.
