"Raise the roof"Did you know that almost a third of Canada's homeless population are 16-24 year-olds?
That's about 65,000 young people without a place to call home.
It's a serious situation - one that needs to be addressed.
In January 2006, Raising the Roof launched Youthworks, a Canada-wide initiative aimed at breaking the cycle of homelessness among young people.
The logic behind Youthworks is that the best way to deal with homelessness is to solve it at the beginning, not treat it at the end.

"Stand up for Kids"The mission of STANDUP FOR KIDS is to help homeless and street kids.
We do this, every day, in cities across America. We carry out our mission through our volunteers who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives.
Our focus goes beyond street outreach and extends to deterrence and resource programs that we provide in schools and via the internet. But all facets of our mission are guided by the mandate that our volunteers shall tell kids they care about them and then, at every point, prove it.

The Hunger Site</u>
The Hunger Site was founded to focus the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need: the eradication of world hunger. Since its launch in June 1999, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism, helping to feed the world's hungry. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the yellow "Help Feed The Hungry" button. To date, more than 200 million visitors have given more than 300 million cups of staple food.
The staple food funded by clicks at The Hunger Site is paid for by site sponsors and distributed to those in need by Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest. 100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners. Funds are split between these organizations and go to the aid of hungry people in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and North America.
All of us here at The Hunger Site are also deeply moved by the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. Learn how you can help!
Hunger: Do You Know The Facts?
It is estimated that one billion people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these causes each year.
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five.
Famine and wars cause about 10% of hunger deaths, although these tend to be the ones you hear about most often. The majority of hunger deaths are caused by chronic malnutrition. Families facing extreme poverty are simply unable to get enough food to eat.
The Hunger Site began on June 1, 1999. In 1999, a year marked by good economic news, 31 million Americans were food insecure, meaning they were either hungry or unsure of where their next meal would come from. Of these Americans, 12 million were children.

How You Can Help In Mere Seconds — Every Day
The Hunger Site provides a feel-good way to help promote awareness and prevent hunger deaths every day — through easy and quick online activities.
With a simple, daily click of the yellow "Help Feed The Hungry" button at The Hunger Site, visitors help provide food to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Food is paid for by the site's sponsors and distributed by Mercy Corps worldwide and by America’s Second Harvest to food banks throughout the United States.
Please remember to click every day to give help and hope to those most in need. Every click counts in the life of a hungry person.

"Homes Not Jails"</u>
Homes Not Jails' Story:
The first HNJ chapter started in San Francisco in 1992 to advocate for the use of abandoned, vacant housing for people experiencing homelessness. The group's direct-action squatting tactics seemed more than appropriate for DC, which boasts over 29,000 units of vacant housing, and thousands of people sleeping on city streets. Homes Not Jails DC was formed in June of 2000.
Homes Not Jails DC holds that housing is a human right that far outweighs developers', landlords', and real estate speculators' "rights" to profit. HNJ takes abandoned buildings both publicly and covertly to address DC's growing crisis of homelessness.
Through publicized takeovers, HNJ raises awareness of the need to utilize vacant buildings for the many thousands of people who can't afford housing in DC.
Recognizing that our government would be reluctant to utilize vacant buildings for people who need housing- and recognizing that people need housing now- HNJ also seeks to support covert squatting in abandoned buildings.
HNJ employs a variety of tactics to bring light to the connection between the growing prison industrial complex and increasing poverty and homelessness.

Food Not Bombs</U>
Food Not Bombs is one of the fastest growing revolutionary movements and is gaining momentum throughout the world. There are hundreds of autonomous chapters sharing free vegetarian food with hungry people and protesting war and poverty. Food Not Bombs is not a charity. This energetic grassroots movement is active throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Food Not Bombs is organizing for peace and an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. For over 25 years the movement has worked to end hunger and has supported actions to stop the globalization of the economy, restrictions to the movements of people, end exploitation and the destruction of the earth.
The first group was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980 by anti-nuclear activists. Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to nonviolent social change. Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders and strives to include everyone in its decision making process. Each group recovers food that would otherwise be thrown out and makes fresh hot vegetarian meals that are served in outside in public spaces to anyone without restriction. Each independent group also serves free vegetarian meals at protests and other events. The San Francisco chapter has been arrested over 1,000 times in government's effort to silence its protest against the city's anti- homeless policies. Amnesty International states it will adopt those Food Not Bombs volunteers that are convicted as "Prisoners of Conscience" and will work for their unconditional release. Even though we are dedicated to nonviolence Food Not Bombs activists in the United States have been under investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, Pentagon and other intelligence agencies. A number of Food Not Bombs volunteers have been arrested on terrorism charges but there has never been a conviction.
Food Not Bombs is often the first to provide food and supplies to the survivors of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. During the first three days after the 1989 Earthquake, Food Not Bombs was the only organization in San Francisco providing hot meals to the survivors and the Long Beach chapter provided food after the North Ridge Earthquake. Food Not Bombs was also the first to provide hot meals to the rescue workers responding to September 11th World Trade Center attacks. Food Not Bombs volunteers were among the first to provide food and help to the survivors of the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Our volunteers organized a national collection program and delivered bus and truckloads of food and supplies to the gulf region. We have been one of the only organizations sharing daily meals in New Orleans since Katrina. You can rely on Food Not Bombs in a disaster and we are ready to help in the future.
Food Not Bombs works in coalition with groups like Earth First!, The Leonard Peltier Defense Committee, Anarchist Black Cross, the IWW, Homes Not Jails, Anti Racist Action, In Defense of Animals, the Free Radio Movement and other organizations on the cutting edge of positive social change and resistance to the new global austerity program. One collective publishes a movement wide newsletter called A Food Not Bombs Menu. Another hosts FNB News where you can learn more about the Food Not Bombs community. Food Not Bombs Publishing in Takoma Park, Maryland publishes books like On Conflict and Consensus which has been an important guide for group democracy. We hope you will join us in taking direct action towards creating a world free from domination, coercion and violence. Food is a right, not a privilege.

Feed The Children</u>
Wherever there is famine, conflict, disease or poverty, it's always the children who are most vulnerable.
Operating from offices in Twyford (near Reading) and Bristol, Feed The Children UK concentrates aid on children suffering the effects of poverty, especially those who have been orphaned or abandoned.
Unusual among charities, we do not just ask for money - we also ask for life-saving goods to send to the projects we support.
We concentrate on
* Support to homeless and abandoned children
* Support to children affected by HIV/Aids.
* Support to education in impoverished areas.
* Vocational training for older children.
* Emergency help in disaster situations, such as the Pakistan earthquake and the tsunami.
* In the UK, breakfast clubs at inner city schools.
Feed The Children operates through its own staff, or through trusted partners, to make sure donated aid goes directly to the people who need it.
Working with the United Nations World Food Programme, we distribute essential food to over 100,000 children in Uganda and Kenya.
