Nearly 6,000 people were served by food banks in Northumberland, according to the county’s Feed Change Report.
Almost half were single people, most of them seniors. The next largest group was two-parent families, followed by single-parent families and couples with no children.
On today’s show, Jen Glover, Manager of Social Services for Northumberland County, will talk about the Food4All Warehouse and its contribution to helping people facing food insecurity. You will also learn what you can do to help during Hunger Action Month.
More importantly, she will bring you up to date on a review of the Food4All Warehouse. Nearly a year ago, staff were asked to review that program. The review considered stepping back from running the warehouse and turning it over to a non-profit organization. For the first time, you’ll learn the outcome. The final decision was made behind closed doors.
You will also hear what is being done to prepare as the tariff war between Canada and the United States unfolds and food banks brace for the fallout.
