There are no restric- tions on use of the CCC. It is located in the Chaplainc Centre, and the door is - ways open. Students in need are often brought to the CCC, but no permission is neces- sary to use it.

As long as the Chap- laincy Centre remains open, the CCC is easily accessible. The larders are stocked with canned soups, dry goods, pre- serves, baby food, diapers, baby wipes, soap, shampoo, some candy, and more. Al- though there are no perisha- bles at the CCC, there is money available to purchase items such as bread or milk. Students may access the CCC as often as a have need.

“When it’s empty, we’ ll do another drive,” said Sister Joan.

But despite the appar- ent demand of the food bank’s services, some com- munity activists are advocat- ing for an end to food banks.

The 1999 Alternative Federal Budget (AFB), a document produced by the Canadian

Social Justice, is amon those who wish to see fi banks made a thing of the past.

“We support the goal of eventually putting food banks out of business in or- der to restore dignity to every single Canadian,” wrote rep- resentatives of the AFB.

Sister Joan agrees.

“It makes a whole lot of sense for the government to give people enough money to oe a decent lifestyle . . . People lose their self, their dignity, because they have to account for everything,” commented Sister Joan. She added that if people are given the money they need in or- der to meet the basic neces- sities of life, they will be- come productive members of society whose taxes would come back into the system.

She also applies this principle to education.

“There should be free education in university, but you earn it,” she add . Peo- ple with an education will be- come productive members of society, and their education costs would be paid back through their tax contribu- tions.

She also commented

that the bills students are graduating with are “scary . . 3 een should] have a lifestyle rather than spend the next twenty years paying back bills.”
