While many professionals have started working from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic, local food banks are struggling to keep up with demand. Health Canada has issued a statement encouraging Canadians to set aside a week’s supply of food, medicine and other household supplies. Unfortunately, this is not an option for Canadians who rely on food banks, many of whom have less than $8 per day to pay for their living expenses, including food and transportation, after rent is paid.
