Ryan Mitchell, a social service worker student at Lambton College, holds a sign up to passing motorists during an anti-poverty and hunger awareness rally at City Hall on Friday.
About 100 people attended the rally hosted by the local Poverty Reduction Network, which also stressed the need for safe, affordable housing.
To help make the point, a “tent city” is being set up at Lambton Mall this weekend by the Community Homelessness Initiatives Network.
