Facing a significant shortage of donations, the Goldstream Food Bank has sent out an urgent appeal for help.
"Our shelves are much emptier than they normally are at this time of the year," said the food bank in a social media post. "As the number of clients we support continues to rise, we need your help to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry, and your generosity and support are more crucial than ever during this time."
The food bank has specifically asked for:
- Oatmeal (individual packets),
- Taco kits,
- Hamburger Helper,
- Chunky Soup,
- Condiments - ketchup, mustard, relish, etc.
"These items are essential for providing nutritious and easy-to-prepare meals for families and individuals in our community," the organization continued. "Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference."
Donated items can be placed in the food bin at the food bank, located at 761 Station Ave., during opening hours.
