CBC – Syrian Refugees Turn to Food Bank as Federal Funds Dry Up, Agencies Say
Edmonton agencies are urging the federal government to boost support for Syrian refugees who are increasingly turning to the food bank to eat. “The government needs to step up,” said Fahad Shaikh with the Islamic Family Social Services Association. “It’s a huge problem. The government’s been great in bringing them here. But they’ve been, in my opinion, not great with helping them resettle.”
