We all know times have been tough. The cost of living has gone up, it’s been hard to make ends meet and food banks are not immune to tough times.

Volunteers at the Penticton Salvation Army Food Bank have been seeing a non-stop rise in demand.

“The Penticton Salvation Army is experiencing a massive need in our community of up to 40 per cent more food needs and social services. As well, as we have 12 agencies we support in our community and we are now having to say, ‘I am so sorry we cannot help you at this time because our shelves are emptying,'” said Major Lisa Trickett with the Penticton Salvation Army.

While Trickett and her team work to meet that rising demand, she says that the donations to match it are not coming through their doors.
