Barrhaven Food Cupboard struggling to meet increased demand Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
in Barrhaven could be one of the reasons for the increase in the demand. “In previous years it was predominantly single family homes,� Lee said. “But now some people are renting out the older townhomes and those people may not have as much disposable income.� Lee – a longtime volunteer with the organization – blamed the economy as well. “For the first time I am seeing clients come back to us after a year of not needing our services,� he said. “Some people are just stretched too thin and if there’s a layoff or a contract ends, there is no cushion.�
Lee said in the last month, the food cupboard gave out $2,900 in gift certificates for fresh produce and other perishable items. Clients were also given a total of 4,000 kilograms of food. Increased demand when there is the opportunity for seasonal work has Lee worrying about the colder months to come. “Things could get even more difficult,� he said. Donations to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard can be made at Food Basics, Loblaws, Ross’ Your Independent, Sobeys and the UPS at 900 Greenbank Rd.

EMC news – A significant increase in the demand for assistance from the Barrhaven Food Cupboard could mean it will go bare, said long-time volunteer Ken Lee. In the time he has been with the volunteer-driven food assistance program, Lee said he has seen the demand in Barrhaven grow by “leaps and bounds.� The average number of calls for assistance last year was 64 families per month. May and June saw 86 calls, while July was a whopping
93. “Based on those figures we are seeing an average increase of 30 per cent over last year,� Lee said, adding that the organization has seen a modest increase in donations, but not enough to keep up with the demand. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder has made a plea for donations on her website and Ross’ Your Independent Grocer had initiated a matching program over the August long weekend, matching each non-perishable donation kilogram for kilogram. Lee said the mix of new housing, including rental units
