A new report out from the Brockville and Area Food Bank shows a surprising increase in the number of users they have seen compared to 2020.
And as food inflation continues to climb, stretching those cash donations is also becoming difficult.
Another first was the amount of monetary donations they received from the community, which was close to $500,000. But with higher food costs, it's harder for the food bank to stretch that dollar like they once could, according to Andrews D'Orazio. Across town at Loaves & Fishes, another not-for-profit that supplies meals to the community, they have also seen an increase in their services, even delivering 50 to 60 meals per day.
Soup made by local chefs will be served in handcrafted bowls made by local artisans, which those who attend get to keep.
