Emergency Food Hamper Collection
From December 11-18th we collected non-perishable food for the Salvation Army Emergency Food Hamper program in Ridge Meadows.
Thanks so much for everyone in our community who contributed.
Where does the food go?
The Salvation Army in Maple Ridge provide emergency food hampers for people who are not yet receiving assistance from the local food bank, are experiencing an emergency such as natural disaster, an unexpected financial hardship, or are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in need of on-going supports we can assist in applying with the local food bank.
Emergency Food Hamper clients come from a variety of backgrounds, including:
- Working families, and single mothers or fathers
- Seniors
- Individuals trying to make ends meet
- People dealing with a natural disaster (Fire, Flood, etc.)
- New immigrants and residents of Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows
- Parents and/or children with disabilities
You can find out more information about the program and how to either request a hamper for yourself or make a monetary donation to the program on the Ridge Meadows Salvation Army website. Image and information taken from RMM website.
