Food bank temporarily turns people away after running out of food

Summer is a time when many people take a break, but a local food bank says they learned the hard way recently that hunger does not go on holiday.

The Salvation Army Food Bank in Brant County says it had to temporarily turn some people away from its Paris location because the shelves were empty.

They’ve since been restocked, but high demand means the supply may not last long.

The situation is more pronounced in the summer – a time of year where people don’t typically donate as often.
