Volunteers at the Souris Lions Club say there’s been an increase in people who need a helping hand in the last few decades, and the club has had to work harder to meet that need.
The Lions Club gathers and distributes baskets for people who can’t afford food during the holiday season.
“It’s a great community effort that makes this possible,” Souris Lions Club chair Peter Boertien told Island Morning host Mitch Cormier in an interview as part of CBC’s Feed a Family campaign. “The community is great.”
The number of people in P.E.I. who rely on food banks is higher than ever, and the need is even greater during the holidays. CBC P.E.I.’s Feed A Family Campaign helps feed families across the Island, making the holidays brighter for those in need.
