It’s well known that demand at the Camrose Food Bank is up this year. The current economy, throughout Alberta, has meant tens of thousands of individuals who were working this time last year are struggling this year. That’s not to suggest laid off employees are not trying to relaunch their careers. People have proven they are prepared to work in other sectors. Thousands of others are in the midst of retraining for alternative careers. In the meantime, though, lots of people, including many right here from Camrose and area, are counting on the generosity of the community. Many businesses are accepting donations for our local food bank. Stuff a Tub is a creative, annual campaign initiated by R & D Hot Tubs in an effort to collect non-perishable food items. The goal, between now and Dec. 23, is to overflow a seven-foot hot tub with cereal, dry and canned goods, peanut butter and other items which can make life easier for carefully screened beneficiaries. If the goal is reached, R & D Hot Tubs owners will supplement the community generosity with an additional $500. The east end Camrose business is open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m and Saturdays from 10 a.m to 3 p.m.
