🍏🍞 Do you remember our Community Pantries? 🍚🍼
They're still up and running across all of our libraries and frequently empty out.

It was all supplied by the Centre for Participation, who have been unable to receive grant funding for the project this year.

If you are able, they are asking for donations to keep the pantries running and continue the fight against food scarcity.
