box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif;

box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The demand has been overwhelming. In the first 2 days, we reached over 140 individuals. The need for La Teranga Food Baskets is apparent. COVID-19 data released by the province of BC stated that Black individuals were among the racialized communities more likely to report not working due to COVID-19, therefore have increased difficulty meeting financial needs. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Similarly, the Broadbent Institute reports that Black communities are 3.5 times more likely to experience food insecurity compared to White Canadians, even after adjusting for factors like immigration status, education level, and homeownership. Black children were also 34 percent more likely to be food insecure compared to 10 percent of White children.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 900;">We need your help to keep this program running past November 30th, 2020.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 900;">The goal of this fundraiser is to raise funds to address food insecurity for low-income members of the black community living in Victoria, Saanich, Langford, Duncan, Sooke and Nanaimo.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Each food basket costs an average of $50 for a 3 person household and we hope to feed 50 families every week. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 900;">The Fundraiser Goal:</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We hope to raise $60, 000 to keep this program running for the next year. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 900;">The Organization:</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Our mission is to advance awareness and understanding of the richness and diversity of African culture and traditions through the promotion of a broad range of cultural, educational and artistic activities, events and programs. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 900;">The Centre: </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Lato, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Issamba, means “coming together” in Cameroon.
