Stratfood food banks are seeing a much higher increase in usage.
Like many other food banks across the province, the increase of need for services can be widely seen due to the impact of the pandemic.
Stratford’s House of Blessing has helped out 354 households throughout the month of July, a much higher increase from the first half of 2020.
Of the homes in need of help in July, 75 of them are first time users for the food bank.
