Local food banks will be able to top up their supplies thanks to an overwhelming turnout during VOCM’s Pack the Pub.
General manager at the Community Food Sharing Association, Tina Bishop, says all the food and monetary donations dropped off to the Newfoundland Embassy during Sunday’s event will help many families in need.
She says the support from the community has been “unbelievable” considering so many people are struggling with rising costs.
Monetary donations can still be made online through VOCM Cares or through the Community Food Sharing Association’s website.
