Local Food Bank Issues Hunger Challenge

If you've never been hungry -- how do you truly know what hunger feels like?

Next week is National Hunger Awareness Week -- and the St. George and Area Food Bank is issuing the Hunger Challenge.

St. George and Area Food Bank Co-ordinator Sarah Norman tells Tide News she will be handing out a single person's food bank share to four people and ask them to live off of that share for a full 5 days.

Those individuals -- including both of our local MLA's for Charlotte County, a local Vice Principal, and a Town Councillor.

On Saturday, May 10th, you can join the participants at a community breakfest being held at the St. George Legion, beginning at 8am, and hear more about their struggles during the week.
