Bonnyville Friendship Centre closed, but food bank open by appointment
The Bonnyville Friendship Centre is closed to the public, but food bank hampers will still be provided by appointment only.
Residents who need to use the food bank are asked to call the Friendship Centre at 780-826-3374.
In early March, the food bank was already experiencing a shortage on many items.
Executive director Lauri Fitzpatrick said they have been bombarded by people trying to use the food bank and are trying to fill as many hampers as possible.
Donations to the food bank are still needed, but you are encouraged to call beforehand as their doors are closed.
They will not accept clothing donations or household goods at this time and the community kitchen is believed to be on hold as well.
“We’ll try to continue to help as much as possible,” said Fitzpatrick.
