The Edmonton Food Bank is pushing to reach it’s $4M and 300,000kg of food this year. The organization serves more than 34,000 people and 400,000 meals/snacks each month.
The holiday season and the final 45 days of the year is seen as the crunch time for the group. Right now the food bank is sitting at $1.7M (29% of their goal) and 90,000kg of food (30%) with only four weeks to go.
Tamisan Bencz-Knight is the Manager of Strategic Relationships and Partnerships with the Edmonton Food Bank and says buying one can of your favorite soup while shopping to put aside for donation goes a long way.
The Food Bank is encouraging the public to contribute any way they can, that can be online donations or through their food hampers.
Bencz-Knight goes on to mention she struggles many people are facing financially and said volunteer work could be the next best option.
