HOW YOU CAN HELP

You CAN Make A Difference

In March 2013, almost 900,000 Canadians accessed food banks in one month. In 2017, Interfaith Food Bank provided food for approximately 1700-1900 citizens in Lethbridge per month, nearly half of whom are children. Individual Canadians can take action to help solve the problem of hunger in Canada. You can make a difference.
