A local grocer is doing its part to help the Community Food Sharing Association.

Colemans has donated $10,000 in grocery gift cards to help provide safe access to food for people in need.

The cards will be distributed to food banks across the province. The Community Food Sharing Association welcomes gift card donations due to the difficulties associated with physical distancing measures.

Foodbank use throughout the province remains among the highest per capita in the country, according to CFSA Office Manager Tina Bishop.
