Emergency Food Bank Closure
Written by Paul Graif on 7 September 2021
The Emergency Food Basket made a final delivery to community recipients on August 20, 2021 and officially wrapped up operations September 3, 2021. The Emergency Food Basket was set up in partnership between the Orville Standup Memorial Food Basket and Kahnawà:ke Shakotiia’takéhnhas Community Services (KSCS). It has been offering services since March 2020 to families in need during the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The transition has now been made back to the volunteer-run, donations-based Orville Standup Memorial Food Basket. Organizers say we are now in a new phase of the pandemic and is thanking everyone for their support over the last 18 months.
