Staff and volunteers continue working to meet demand and keep shelves stocked while supporting a growing number of clients in the Brockville area
The Brockville and Area Food Bank continues to see heavy demand after the first month of 2026, according to the organization.
Amanda Petch, manager of the Brockville and Area Food Bank, said demand continues to rise.
She said cold temperatures have also brought more people into the building, adding pressure and making daily operations more difficult.
Petch said the food bank plans to open on Mondays beginning in March to help spread out visits and reduce lineups.
She said the additional day will begin on March 2, with the food bank open from 10 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Petch also spoke about items the food bank needs most to support visitors during the winter months.
She said staff and volunteers continue working to meet demand and keep shelves stocked while supporting a growing number of clients in the Brockville area.
