new food bank2It’s a big week for the North Bay Food Bank as they move into their new location.

Manager Amber Livingstone says they are now located at Fisher and Princess and everything is under one roof.

Some of the highlights of the new building include the fact it is wheelchair accessible and there are bus stops right in front.

She says the first time they’ll be open for clients will be Wednesday at 4.  

Livingstone says there are no changes in the hours for clients and there will be an official opening later when it’s warmer.

Meantime, the food bank is part of a spring helping food drive initiative. Loblaws-owned stores will have bins in place in which people can donate items for the food bank.

Bins have been set up in Parker’s Your Independent Grocer.

She says they are looking for larger can soups, specifically chicken noodle and vegetable.

The new location for the North Bay Food Bank is at the intersection of Fisher and Princess.
