Food bank use on the rise in Lethbridge
According to Food Banks Canada’s annual HungerCount report that was released Thursday morning, more than 116,300 Albertans visited a food bank in March 2021. That reflects a 30 percent increase from previous years. Executive Director with the Interfaith Food Bank, Danielle McIntyre says, increased demand, plus rising costs due to inflation created by pandemic-related spending are creating a perfect storm of overwhelming demand on food banks.
