Food Bank In Desperate Need

Food banks accross Canada, and locally here in St. Stephen are seeing first-hand that the recession is not over for a large number of Canadians.

The Volunteer Center of Charlotte County -- our local Food Bank in St. Stephen -- is currently struggling to keep the shelves stocked.

This time of year when the weather starts getting nicer, people tend to forget about the need to donate food to your local food banks.

Volunteers asking for assistance in their time of need.

If you are able to donate any food or make a cash donation, contact the Volunteer Center of Charlotte County today.  They are located at 199 Union Street in St. Stephen.
