Local food bank users increase in 2015

According to the North Hastings Community Cupboard, food bank usage in the area has increased by 20 per cent in 2015.

Executive Director Dianne Lang says that low wages in the area contribute to the high number of users.

Lang says that children represent one third of local food bank users.

Lang went on to say that people on social support represent about 10 per cent of users.

She says the Community Cupboard is in need of the public’s help, whether it be food or money donations.
