Nearly 125 applications were filled out, two-thirds of which were by families, said. food bank organizer Micki Braid. : “We used all of the money, we have none left,’’. said Braid in adding the bank usually receives more dona-. tions leading into the start of its distribution season. A shortage of money, nor- mally occurs in March, the final month in which the bank operates, she added. The number of people ap- plying far food is up over last «: year although Braid wasn’t sure if the demand was duc. to increased need.or to in- creased awareness of the bank's existence. - Last . week’s distribution was aided by a donation of surplus food from a northern ‘mining camp and collections conducted by. church youth ‘groups on Hallowe'en night. The food bank won’t operate next month. and in- stead will combine its efforts with,'the Salvation Army's Christmas hamper program, :It begins operations again in January.
