VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired) — 09/26/16 — Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE: GET) (FRANKFURT: GJT) is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with Mealshare to work together to fight against youth hunger.
Glance Pay–s strategic alliance with Mealshare establishes a mutual referral and marketing relationship to make it easier for diners to actively provide meals for youth in need in Vancouver, B.C. and surrounding communities. Mealshare and Glance Pay have already begun planning events at Glance Pay–s participating restaurants to raise money for Mealshare to provide meals to youth in need.
In British Columbia, approximately 8.2% of households are food insecure1, and each month over 850,000 Canadians turn to food banks for help.2 Child poverty rates in British Columbia are above the national average, with approximately one in five British Columbian children living below the poverty line.3 Food insecurity can be harmful to children–s healthy growth and development, and living in a food-insecure environment can pose numerous health risks for children. Mealshare is looking forward to working with Glance Pay to help eliminate food insecurity for youth in British Columbia.
