It’s almost Valentine’s Day! For some, this will be something fun and romantic to plan for. For some, there will be fancy treats and fancy dinners and decorations.

But not for everyone. Not for those whose budgets don’t stretch far enough to cover basic costs. When bills must be paid, sometimes the only thing that can be shorted on is food. Think some folks don’t have to skip meals to keep the lights and the heat on? Think again.

Nevertheless, help is at hand from the Kingsville Community Food Bank. The good people there are always ready to offer assistance to those in need. We appreciate the ongoing efforts of the Food Bank volunteers, and we are thankful for those in our community who give so generously.

Here’s a list of items that the Food Bank is looking for in February:

They also welcome gift cards for groceries, products for babies, pet supplies including dog and cat food, laundry and dish detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, and more. Cardboard boxes and cloth bags are always welcome. If you can help, the Food Bank thanks you for your generosity.

The Food Bank is located at 18 Division Street North in Kingsville across the street from RBC Bank. You can also use their drop-off bin inside Zehrs, shown in the picture below.
