Group opposes Salvation Army lunch fee and is asking questions about shelters

A Nanaimo-based advocacy group, the Creative Awareness Collective, is challenging a recent fee attached to the lunches served at The Salvation Army’s New Hope Centre. The Pennies from Heaven campaign aims to stop the fee. The group is also speaking up about practices at Nanaimo’s emergency shelters.

We speak with Wallace Malay and Mary Ellen Bruce of the Creative Awareness Collective and with Rob Anderson from The Salvation Army.
