While the food bank will accept any bag filled with donations, the last of the yellow food drive bags have been sent out to a few homes.

“Canada Post is delivering Rotary Food Drive tags to every household in town,” said Executive Director Bernadette Siracky. “We’re asking you to attach those to a bag you already have in your home. So, any reusable bag, plastic bag, box, and put it in a visible spot by 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.”
