We need individuals, govern m ent and industr y to step forward now and join us in our ongoing struggle to support our citizens. Whether y ou donate food, cash or y our ti m e, we’d be forever grateful,” sa y s the food bank. At the sa m e ti m e, the HCFB is hoping to find a building owner who will provide it with a rent-free location. The current pre m - ises cost between $18,000 and $20,000 an- nuall y . The total budget is about $100,000. A 1,500-square-foot space is required. Contact the food bank at (613) 636-0666 or drop b y 548 Main Street E.
