The North Bay and District Labour Council is doing its part for the North Bay Food Bank.

On Monday, they announced a month long food drive campaign.

President Henri Giroux says the campaign will run until September 22nd and will focus on food donations.

He says council members can drop off donations to the food bank or at the Labour Day Picnic next month.

Food Bank Manager Amber Livingstone says the campaign comes at an important time as donations to the food bank in the summer are traditionally low and this campaign will make a difference before donations tend to rise in the fall and winter.

Giroux says he encourages all local unions to make a contribution to the food bank as part of this effort.

He says the economy has taken a few hits lately and a survey is indicating more of their members are using the food bank .
