Belleville's Gleaners Food Bank faces a 25% rise in demand amid summer shortage of donations and volunteers.

The Belleville-based Gleaners Food Bank, serving the Quinte region, faces a summer shortage of donations and volunteers as demand for food has risen by 25% compared to last year. Gleaners Food Bank serves local food banks and 13 meal programs run by local organizations and is in urgent need of staple foods and volunteers. The food bank is looking to hire four people to help deliver food to seniors and people with disabilities during afternoons. To assist, cash donations are the most efficient as Gleaners can receive discounts from certain suppliers and retailers.
