THE BATTLEFORDS — Christmas time is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for many in the community, this is not true.
According to Battlefords District Food Resource Centre, rapid inflation, resulting in the rising cost of living, is driving people who were already living dangerously close to poverty over the edge. BDFRC has seen an increase in families struggling to keep food on the table, with more than 1,800 people accessing the food bank each month.
Thursday, Nov. 17, from 10:30 a.m. to midnight, support BDFRC by ordering from Domino’s Pizza.
Two medium, three-topping pizzas and an order of cheesy bread are $24.99 plus tax. Five dollars from each order will support the Battlefords Empty Stocking Fund.
Order over the phone at 306-445-2555 or online with the code: Raise.
Last year the Empty Stocking Fund provided Christmas food hampers to more than 425 households; 54 per cent of those included children, who also received a toy.
Your support again this year will allow BDFRC to help those in need this Christmas and help those struggling with food insecurity the other 364 days of the year.
