With the Salvation Army helping 152 members more than it had at this time last year, some of the items are starting to run low.
Food bank co-ordinator Trina Jiggins said with the substantial increase, it’s been hard to keep up.
“Last year we were servicing 400 people a month, now that we have this healthy choices program with Thrifty Foods, our numbers have jumped to 552,” said Jiggins. “There are more people that are accessing our food bank because we have healthier choices.”
