Theft of food proves a point for the Central Alberta United Way..
The United Way Central Alberta had an unintended but not surprising consequence to one of its
#UNIGNORABLE Campaign displays. Four art installations have been built to inspire people
to think more deeply about issues like domestic violence, mental illness, homelessness, and hunger.
A table with five school lunchboxes full of food, and one empty lunchbox symbolizing hunger was placed
on display at a local recreation centre (GH Dawe). When organizers went to move the table to
its next venue, all the food was gone. CEO Brett Speight says regardless of whether a group of children
grabbed a snack, or an adult removed some of the food for their family, the message is the same. –
Hunger is an #UNIGNORABLE issue in Central Alberta. He says organizers will make sure to provide
some extra food at the table’s next installation.
