It's important to have food banks I think
because it's some place for people to go when
they are in need. Our community wouldn't be
as healthy as it is if we didn't have these
services for people who need it. We have lots
and lots of people out of work. Our food bank
output has doubled. I have raised a family
and I have a daughter who was tapping the
food bank for two years, that made me realize
how important the food banks were because
she was going through a difficult time. We
have a basic food kit for two people and it's
intended to last around three days, and then
if it's a family of four say, we have what's
called a supplementary box. With everybody
working together we have a community that
we're proud to live in, and it just wouldn't
be so if all of these people weren't helped out.
