Food Bank Appeal

The Salvation Army in Fort Frances is appealing to area residents to help stock its food bank.

Captain Angel Sandoval says while the economy is leading more people to see assistance, it's also having an impact on donations.

"There is a lot of hard situations in many families in our community," says Sandoval, "and there are more families coming to the food bank with kids. We're appealing to the community to support us and continue help those in need."

Meantime, the Salvation Army will hold a thanksgiving lunch today at its Victoria Avenue Citadel from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

There's no cost to attend, but donations are welcome.
