There were 25 new accounts in October and 7 emergency hampers handed out.

The food and cash donated from the Stuff the Truck campaign is shared with the food banks in Lake Cowichan and Chemainus as well as the Duncan location.

Smith says the supplies can last right into the spring.

The items most needed include soup, tomato sauce, Kraft Dinner, pasta, rice, pork and beans, sugar, peanut butter, jam, powdered milk, canned fruits, canned vegetables.
