Ailsa Craig and Area Food Bank: Start the New Year by Sharing While the holiday season may be over, the need for food and supplies at foodbanks around the country continues all year long. The Ailsa Craig and Area Food Bank (ACAFB) and Thrift Store, which serves the Middlesex Centre area, is no different. “The need for food doesn’t go away after the holidays,” says Rev. Mark Isaac, who coordinates ACAFB and Thrift Store. “If you know someone who is in need, please assure them there is no shame in this. It’s been difficult for everyone lately.” In the past, ACAFB served close to 180 homes. This coming year, they are expecting 200 to 250 households. Items that ACAFB needs year-round, include lunch items, sugar, sugar replacements, ketchup, mustard, relish, mayonnaise, BBQ and other sauces, pickles, coffee and tea, oatmeal, cookies, crackers, canned salmon, chicken and ham, breads, and fresh vegetables. Donations to the foodbank or the thrift store can be dropped off during operating hours. The foodbank is open from Tuesday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm. The thrift store is open Tuesday to Friday, 1pm to 4 pm. To arrange for donation pick-ups, call 519-293-3637 or email acafb@execulink.com. For more information, visit www.ailsacraig.org. To request assistance, call the store or email sam.acafb@gmail.com. What’s happening at Komoka Library It’s easy to hunker down during cold winter months, but that can make it a lonely time for many.
