Food Insecurity Increasing The number of people accessing food banks in Canada has reached a historical high with over 2 million food bank visits across the country. Families with low incomes have the added burden of seeing non-negotiable costs such as rent absorbing more and more of their disposable income, leaving less money available for food. During this holiday season, and in the winter months that follow, consider supporting or accessing these amazing organizations in the Strathroy-Caradoc area. They are working hard to help families in need of food, personal essentials, and the basic items to create a home and live well.
Mount Brydges Caring Cupboard, 22638 Adelaide Rd Mount Brydges Because of increased costs, the Caring Cupboard at Hope Christian Reformed Church in Mount Brydges now serves over 50 families needing assistance with food. Thanks to the generosity of the church, the faithful volunteers and donors, the Caring Cupboard continues to be a vital resource for the community. Currently, the Caring Cupboard is looking for the following items: Feminine products · Personal care products · Baby items like wipes, di- apers · Baby food · School snacks like pudding, juices, apple sauce gra- nola bars, cheese strings, snack packs · Gift cards for grocery stores and Walmart The Caring Cupboard is also looking for support to guide them toward getting charitable status, which would open more opportunities for donations and allow them to issue tax receipts. The Mount Brydges Caring Cupboard Food Bank is open Fridays, 10 to 12 noon, at Hope Christian Reformed Church, 22638 Adelaide Road, Mount Bry - dges. For more information, call 226-237-7916.
