Students from the local high schools will be out and about Wednesday evening collecting food for the North Bay Food Bank.
The students will be out from 4:30pm until 8:00pm.
This annual event is essential to stocking the Food Bank’s shelves in preparation for Christmas which is when the Food Bank sees a lot of traffic.
October’s Food of the Month is baby food, pablum, large-sized diapers and wipes; however, the food bank welcomes all non-perishable food items as donations. If you don’t think that you will be home during the time that the students are out, you can leave your donation in a clearly marked bag just outside your door. The Food Bank also accepts online donations as well.
The North Bay Food Bank is available to accept food and monetary donations year-round. The food bank is located at 1016 Fisher Street in North Bay and is open to serve clients Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00am until noon, and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:00pm until 6:00pm.
