The Airdrie Food Bank, a vital lifeline for our community’s most vulnerable, faces an unprecedented need as shelves lay bare and stockpiles diminish to the lowest levels we have ever seen. Uncle Trent spoke to Christine Taylor from the Airdrie Food Bank on how the community can lend a helping hand. You can hear the interview here:

The number of people the Airdrie Food Bank serves in Airdrie has surged by 55%, with a staggering 44% being children, 12% higher than the national average, underlining the gravity of child hunger within our community. It is a reality that children in our community attend school on an empty stomach, resulting in a negative impact on both their physical and mental health as well as their academic achievements.
