Take It to the Bank!
The demand for food donations in the Grey Bruce area will be greater than ever this year.
During the holidays, most people are in a very giving mood, but when the celebrations are over and the new year rolls around, food bank donations usually slow to a crawl.
With rising food prices, so many people in our area struggle to afford nutritious meals, which is why our local food banks are in desperate need of non-perishable food donations.
There’s also a huge demand for other essential household items such as diapers, pet food, school supplies, toiletries, cleaning supplies and reusable bags.
In addition to food and household items, financial donations are especially important as they offer the flexibility for food banks to purchase fresh produce or to stock up on items that are in short supply.
Financial donations also give our food banks the purchasing power to buy items in bulk at much lower prices, allowing them to make the most of every dollar.
Thanks so much to all of the amazing people who volunteer their time at our local food banks. The work you do is truly inspiring!
