The Salvation Army is seeing an increase in families using their food bank.
Roy Bladen, Director of the Thompson Salvation Army says a few months ago they were helping 50 families:
"That was about average now were up to 57 families, we have and continue to see an increase in the number of people coming to us".
Bladen says thanks to a food drive local schools did, the food bank has had enough food to support these families so far.
He says they will be closing in August, like they do every year,
