Food Banks Across B.c. Co-Ordinate To Cover Needs As Flooding Strains Supply Chain
The CBC reports that food banks, which are already dealing with higher-than-usual demand since the start of the pandemic, are now also coping with the supply chain issues affecting much of B.C., made worse by the catastrophic flooding that has shut down many critical highways.
So far, the food bank in Richmond has managed to avoid most of the shortages, said the food bank's executive director, Hajira Hussain, which is now sending six crates of excess non-perishable food items to the hard-hit Chilliwack food bank on a daily basis.
