Local Food Bank Struggling To Meet Demand

A local food bank could shut down by Christmas if it doesn't receive community support. The Bridgewater Inter-church Food Bank is in desperate need of food or monetary donations. Coordinator Gloria Hubley says at least 66 new families have used their service over the last year. Hubley says they have had to cut back on the amount of milk tickets they give out, and if the situation continues, they will be forced to stop buying meat or fish. She remains optimistic things will turn around.



Hubley says they have also seen a drop in donations by about $9,000 from 2011.
