Donations to the Medicine Hat and District Food Bank are going out the door just about as fast as they are coming in as the pandemic’s effects are starting to hit families.
Melissa Mullis, the food bank’s director of community relations, says The 40 Hot Meal Project launched last week which sees corporate sponsors pay for restaurants to produce meals is proving to be a needed supplement to the food hampers going out the door.
But the need is great in the community.
“We need a lot of items to go in the hampers – basic items like rice and pasta and soup,” said Mullis.
