Lanark County Food Bank Feeling the Pressure

In Perth Ontario News   On February 23, 2010   2 Comments

The Lanark County Food Bank is ridiculously busy these days and volunteers working with the charitable institution wonder if the need for help will ever subside.

From January 2009, the number of people in need of assistance has steadily increased as the months passed by, this according to the food bank’s executive director, Natine Kennedy. She also noted that more people have come to the food bank for help, with 519 in January this year, a significant increase to last January’s 402 people.

Kennedy is worried that the trend won’t stop any time soon. If the recession is indeed over, she says her team of volunteers certainly haven’t felt it yet. “It’s a battle here every month”, she adds.

Since December of 2009, more and more people have begun to flock in asking for food and a place to turn in for the night. She said that it’s heartbreaking to see these people, most of whom are embarrassed to be asking for help but are left with not choice.

The food bank is presently tending to 241 adults and over a 100 kids in Carleton Place, while the rest of the clients are from the Almonte, Perth, and Smith’s Falls area.
