The Food Bank of Waterloo Region interim CEO, Kim Wilhelm, says more people are needing food bank services this year, but the food bank is also feeling the impacts of inflation. Wilhelm says one donation dollar now only provides two meals instead of three.
The Food Bank of Waterloo Region has launched its spring food bank as it faces unprecedented need from people in the community who are struggling after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coalition of Muslim Women of K-W has also launched their annual Give30 food drive for Ramadan.
