N.S. food banks scramble to meet surge in demand | CBC News ...Middle East

Lia LeClair has been volunteering with the Pictou County Food Bank in New Glasgow, N.S., for over 25 years, but she’s never seen it as busy as it is this year. “There’s no comparison,” LeClair said in an interview following a busy shift during which the food bank served 75 clients in a three-hour window. Seven of those clients were visiting for the first time. LeClair said the majority of clients are working full-time jobs, sometimes two jobs, but they still can’t afford to buy all the food they need. “It’s building up more and more every month.” What LeClair is seeing in New Glasgow is not unique. Food bank usage across Nova Scotia has surged by 27 per cent this year, according to Feed No
