Around 23 Per Cent of Community Using Food Bank, Other Non-Profits Seeing Increase in Needs
Nearly a quarter of the people living in Fort McMurray are using the Wood Buffalo Food Bank.
That’s according to the Poverty Reduction Network which is made up of different local non-profits including the Food Bank.
In 2018, the organization helped around 23 per cent of the community’s population.
Executive Director Dan Edwards tells Mix News it’s tough to know so many people are struggling.
