The Foodbank has seen a considerable increase in demand over the past few years.

We served 1,422 hampers to individual households in 2018 through our main Food Hamper Program; 60% of which were adults and 40% children. That is 7-10 days worth of food to 4,232 individuals.

We were also able to provide additional support through our Help Yourself Shelf Program with 4763 household visits throughout the year. This is an increase of 11% compared to 2018 statistics. During the Christmas season, we distributed 243 Christmas hampers.
