The doors will be back open at the Thunder Bay Food Bank.
Food hampers and other supplies will be delivered from the Regional Food Distribution Centre Thursday, and on Friday the first food bank will be open.
“We’re thankful to RFDA, Roots to Harvest, the Salvation Army, and other organizations which were able to continue to feed those in need during the past few months,” says Reino Pitkanen, chair of the Board of the Thunder Bay Food Bank. “We’re happy to be re-opening as most of the other local food banks have also done recently. We particularly appreciate that Grace Place operated a temporary bi-weekly food bank to serve our clients during the last two months. They’ll be able to stop this service as we open ours. ”
Many clients have already registered through 211 and others are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
They’ll only be open every second Friday morning, and will be serving clients in the parking area, until final renovations are completed in order to fully re-opening the building.
