School families from Delnorte and Mannville Schools recently held their annual food drive in recognition of World Food Day that was held on Oct. 16.
"We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from our communities," says Val Mytz, Food Bank Coordinator. "Whether it's food drives, monetary donations, or volunteering, the generosity we receive makes a huge difference."
Mytz expressed gratitude to all those who contributed to the food drive. “With your help, the Mannville & District Food Bank can continue to provide essential support to families facing difficult times.”
She noted that, “Since 2023, the demand for food assistance has doubled, making the role of the food bank more crucial than ever.
As the need for food assistance grows, we encourage everyone to get involved. Keep an eye out for local events in your communities where you can support the food bank and drop off a donation! Additionally, every December, the Mannville Cornerstone Coop will have a donation box available. Let’s make sure we fill it up!
For over 35 years, the Mannville & District Food Bank has been a vital resource for families in need. Run entirely by dedicated volunteers, the food bank depends on the support of local businesses, community organizations, and individuals to continue its mission.”
