The Guelph Food Bank is setting its hopes high this spring.
The food bank announced a goal of 90,000 pounds of food for its 2023 spring food drive which runs from March 30th to April 16th.
In a news release, they are expecting use of food banks in Canada to increase by 60 per cent, citing the rising cost of living.
The Guelph Food Bank is distributing 35,000 paper grocery bags inside copies of this Thursday’s Mercury-Tribune.
