The Dauphin and District Food Bank has been around since 2000 and for the past 23 years, Robin Gambler has been front and centre.
"I like helping people, I have been involved the entire time," said Gambler. "If I can help someone get a meal, that's what I want to do."
With grocery prices continuing to skyrocket, the amount of people heading to the Food Bank is also skyrocketing. Compared to last year, the number of people has doubled and this includes families and single people.
At this time, they're looking for donations of non-perishable food items. They do ask that if you do plan on donating, check the best-before date prior to dropping anything off. They're also looking for feminine hygiene products.
"Rent has to be the number one priority for people and we understand how expensive that is," said Gambler. "If we can then give them some food security, that's great."
You can drop off any donations at the Friendship Centre and they will then be taken to the Food Bank at Parkland Crossing. You can also head there and if someone is available, they will help you out.
The next intake at Parkland Crossing is Thursday from 5 to 7. You must take your Manitoba Health Card and you are eligible to receive a hamper once every four weeks.
