Increased costs challenge Kingston, Ont.-area charities this Thanksgiving
“Squash, apple and coconut soup spiced with cinnamon and star anise, and then we have the full turkey dinner, the stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, gravy of course,” Food Service Supervisor Thomas Elia recounts.
Both organizations are expecting to be serving up more meals this Thanksgiving than they ever have in the past. “We estimated in the past we might serve 120, 140 people at the outset,” Fyfe says. “We are expecting 400.”And combine that with increasing food prices, both organizations say they are struggling just to get by.
St. Vincent de Paul serves just shy of 360 meals every day in their meal program — but the struggle to provide meals continues, as donations are down.
