FEED Niagara: Food bank visits up 36% since COVID-19

FEED Niagara says food banks in the region are facing more demand than ever before in 2024.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, food bank visits throughout the region have soared by an average of 36% in just four years, with food banks being accessed throughout the region on a more consistent basis.

During the holidays, residents are urged to make a non-perishable food donation, big or small, to help those in need. We will be set up for Haulin’ For Hunger food drives this weekend at the Pen Centre and Girard’s No Frills in Welland.
