COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on not-for-profits in the province, and the restrictions surrounding the virus has the Community Food Sharing Association worried about one of their busiest times of the year.

Executive Director Eg Walters says a lot of the food drives that occur during Thanksgiving and Christmas won’t be happening this year. Further, Walters says he hasn’t heard anything on the status of the downtown Santa Claus parade – which has been the source of many monetary and food donations over the years.

Walters is asking for community support as the need ramps up during the holiday season.

He says the support is needed no matter where you are in the province.
