Reading now: 900
Nova Scotia, a province with some of the highest food insecurity rates in Canada, has begun to see an increase in the demand for food support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s a story that is playing out across the country. Food Banks Canada has reported a 20 to 50 per cent increase in demand for food donations and volunteers in some regions since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Tuesday the group launched the I ATE campaign with a goal of $70 million. It marks the remainder of the organization’s $150 million COVID-19 response goal.
The initial fundraiser was announced in March in an effort to support Canadian food banks through the pandemic. As provinces announce easing restrictions, demand for food support will only rise.
