The Salvation Army says its seeing a rise in the number of people using its food bank.
Captain Angel Sandoval says they've seen a 20 per cent jump over the past couple of months.
He attributed the increase to the economy.
"With the economic situation we live with right now," says Sandoval, "it's really difficult, especially for families with kids and those who have lost their job. I think together we can do something different for them and continue helping them."
The Salvation Army is near the funding of its Red Shield Appeal Campaign, but Sandoval says the appeal for help is becoming a year round.
