The Bank of Commerce at 2 King St. East, in Bowmanville, Bowmanville, has set up a food donation box to help the Salvation Salvation Army's foodbank. Isabelle Jones, of the Salvation Salvation Army Family Services Services in Bowmanville, said the food bank is always looking • for donations. "We're not giving away hampers like at Christmas, but we need to stock up our cupboards for the people who use the food bank," she explained. "We need canned- pasta dinners, stews, meats and fish, powdered milk, .and peanut butter." "We have a lot of soup, boxes of macaroni and cheese dinners." Mrs. Jones would like to see people drop off food such as dried pasta and spaghetti sauces. "Things that people can put together to make a meal," she said. There are always people who need food, she said. Sometimes people need the food to make it until the end of the month when a cheque arrives. "It depends on the family as to how much food we give out. There are all different kinds of situations." Generally, for those trying trying to make it to the end of the month, the Salvation Army Food Bank is able to give a family between $50 to $60 worth of groceries.
