Doug Robertson, the new manager of the DrydenFood Bank provided a brief update on the operation of their organization.
He explained that they get 3 - 6 new families a week. Each new client goes through an interview process to determine eligibility. Once approved, they get to arrange an appointment to pick up a hamper once per week. In June 2012, 194 households and 467 individuals were served.
All clients are active for 6 months and then put on inactive list in an attempt to promote
them to become more self sufficient.
President Sandra Boyko then presented Doug with a cheque for $3,500 from the Dryden Rotary Charity Foundation
