Food banks in Lethbridge to benefit from Kinsmen Club donation

Mar 5, 2024 | 3:13 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Kinsmen Club of Lethbridge has extended a helping hand to food banks in the city.

The club has donated a total of $10,000 to the Interfaith Food Bank and Lethbridge Food Bank, with $5,000 going to each organization.

Danielle McIntyre, executive director of the Interfaith Food Bank said the funds will be used to help with food purchases and operational costs, “as demand for emergency food supports is at an all-time high”.

McIntyre explained, “The Kinsmen Club reached out to the food banks before Christmas to determine how they could help, deciding to present their gift early in the new year, after the surge of Christmas donations begins to deplete.”

She added, “The majority of food bank donations are received during the Season of Giving (Thanksgiving through Christmas), but people need to eat every day. We are truly grateful for those that think of us through the rest of the year!”
