The Aldergrove Food Bank is having a food and donation drive this Saturday, Dec. 12 from 1 to 4 pm.
Organized by Aldergrove resident Karen Long, people are invited to bring food or cash donations within that time.
“Stop by and support them and the people they provide food and services to,” Long said.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has driven the number of food bank users up throughout the year.
Events typically held at this time of year to raise funds and collect donations have been cancelled.
Long said something had to be done in order to meet demand.
