On November 23, 2010, the Recession Relief Coalition (RRC), a Toronto-based group of organizations and individuals concerned about the impact of the recession on Canadas most vulnerable and marginalized residents, held a one day conference/inquiry in downtown Toronto. This diverse group, including people who have experienced hunger, researchers who study the social phenomena of hunger, and social service providers, came together to closely examine the issue of hunger and provide solutions to an issue that affects thousands of Canadians.
