A Saint-Henri food bank says it’s starting to cut services and is worried it might have to close its doors entirely if it can’t get more funding soon.
It’s already reduced its food basket distribution from three days per week to two and staff are working fewer hours.
“Better to cut back somewhat now than to close the door later,” said Glenn Rubenstein, the general manager of Épicentre Saint-Henri.
“My fear is either to continue to cut back or possibly close food banks and that is the service that probably responds most directly to people in the most precarious situations.”
