FOOD BANK

EMMANUEL FOOD BANK ANNUEL REPORT 2026

The food bank continues to grow with many new clients each week. We average anywhere from 25 clients to closer to 50 + clients each week. Many clients are new comers to Canada, which can be very challenging because many speak no English or very little. Feed Nova Scotia donations are improving which means our orders are getting a little better. We are buying food each week such as crackers, cookies, can fish or meats, peanut butter. Christmas 2025 was very busy we supported 41 families and we had 45 children on our advent wreath. The support of the parish and community was overwhelming, I can’t thank the parish family enough for all your support throughout the year, and we had many donations from community organizations. I would like to thank Roxanne, Carol, Barb, Sarah, Dorothy, Paula, Terry, Rev. Bert, Phil, Roxanne Petrossie for all their hard and faithful work and being faithful all year long. This year we were closed from December 18, 2025 to January 6 2026
