Kari Roos hands out free apples and information.

“ChewOnThis!” events are being held today in more than 30 cities across the country, including right here at Lambton College. Volunteers are handing out brown paper bags containing an apple and information. 

"ChewOnThis!" is organized by Dignity for All, which is co-led by Canada Without Poverty (CWP) and Citizens for Public Justice (CPJ), both registered charities.

Today's "ChewOnThis!" campaign will be followed with an Anti-Poverty rally at noon on Friday, October 16 in front of Sarnia's City Hall. 

Visit www.chewonthis.ca to tell the government that you want a federal plan to end poverty.
