Why we chose to do this as our CAP project
Did you know that 1 in 5 children in Nanaimo are impacted by poverty? When we first started this Community Action Project (CAP) we quickly discovered the need that schools have for supporting students with new or gently used clothing for all ages. According to the 2014 Child Poverty Report Card, British Columbia's Child poverty rate has increased from 15.5% to 20.6% in the last 23 years, putting it above the national average. Considering the increase in these rates, it came to our attention that awareness needs to be brought to this issue in a way that we can each make a contribution towards change.
