The reality of the economic situation resulting from COVID-19 shutdowns is starting to hit Dryden.
Food Bank Manager Al Huckabay says their numbers are slowly increasing because of layoffs or people encountering food insecurity and trouble paying the bills.
Huckabay says they are always supportive of donations from those who can still give during this difficult period.
“The best thing that people can do is financial donations because that helps us to be able to purchase the types of foods that we need.”
He notes canned goods and non-perishable food items will also be accepted.
