Robin Bailey, Executive Director of the Burlington Food Bank does a daily YouTube broadcast.
The Burlington Food Bank is currently serving 650; that is double what they served in April of last year and a 20% increase over the March numbers.
There are some very grateful people out there: One household sent this note:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I just received my delivery by a lovely lady, with two helpful children in the backseat! Your generosity is overwhelming. I feel like its Christmas morning. I have spent the last 2 hours filling my fridge and cupboards. The personal care products are so amazing! The amount of anxiety that has been lifted is wonderful. I am going through old recipes so I can bake and freeze.”
The flow of funds to buy the food that is distributed has been impressive but the demand is growing.
There are all kinds of volunteers and some innovative fund raising ideas as well.
If you are in need or know of someone who could use our help have them email us at info@burlingtonfoodbank.ca or call 905-637-2273 to make arrangements to have food dropped at the door. If you live in Burlington, we are here to help.
