Helping to feed those in need is something the Dauphin Food Bank works hard at.
The organization goes all year round.
Robin Gambler, Chair for the group, tells us the details of the upcoming AGM.
“It’s at Parkland Crossing in the cafeteria tonight at 7:00 p.m.”
There currently aren't any open board member positions, but the organization is always looking for volunteers.
With the warm weather in tow, gardeners are anxious to get planting and the food bank is promoting their Grow and Row initiative.
Gambler tells us how this works.
“We’re hoping that people with large gardens will grow a row of carrots, potatoes or cucumbers and donate them, because a lot of our clients, when they come in, that’s such a treat; having fresh vegetables from a garden. A lot of them rent and not all landlords allow gardens.”
Fresh produce is accepted any time at the food bank; however they must follow strict food guidelines and can’t accept any homemade baking or canning.
If anyone is looking to volunteer with the food bank or find out how they can help, come to the meeting tonight and learn what it's all about.
