Organizers at the Drumheller Salvation Army Food Bank have told inSide Drumheller, that current supply levels are running low. They are requesting help from the community.
According to Community Ministries Director Shane Hillier, “The food bank is low on pasta sauce, cereal, granola bars, cookies, biscuits, crackers, canned fruit and large canned soup.”
“We have seen an increase in the number of people requesting help from the food bank. We knew March was going to be tough, especially with so many people not working. Right now, we are between our main food bank drives and we want to be supportive of the community’s needs. All or any donations would be appreciated.” said Hillier.
“When people are out grocery shopping, please pick up a little extra and donate the food, in the boxes available at Freson Bros., Extra Foods and the Co-op.” expressed Hillier.
Drumheller Chrysler staff have decided to have a food drive for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Their goal is to fill the back of as many trucks as possible with groceries for the food bank. Donations will automatically receive a voucher for a free coffee and donut from Freson Bros. The Chrysler staff will also enter your name into a draw for toolkits or an interior/exterior vehicle detailing.
The dealership’s spokesman for the food drive, Jamie Worman says, “Everyone here is on board. Every little bit goes a long way and the food drive will run until March 31.”
