Dear Tracy,   From April 12-18 Canada is celebrating National Volunteer Week.  More than 30% of all food banks across the country are run solely by volunteers, and all food banks rely heavily on the work of their volunteers to provide the support needed to serve almost 850,000  Canadians per month. Thank you for your support and for how you may volunteer to make a difference in your community.                                   More Tidbits:  Our Blog: Latest news from the team  Food Banks Teaching Kids About Nutrition: A program of the Agape Centre in Cornwall  Let's Check our Assumptions About People Who Access Food Banks The Impact of a Dollar READ MORE >> Every Plate Full  Thousands of Canadians face hunger every year and food banks across the country are unable to keep up with the demand.
