On average, Brighton Fare Share, a local food bank organization, regularly assists 80 families in the area but volunteer, Emily Rowley, reports that this number is increasing.
Items most in demand include, school lunch items like juice boxes, granola bars, and pudding cups but all non-perishable items such as canned meat, pancake mix and syrup are always welcome.
Brighton Fare Share is open to residents in the Municipality of Brighton, every Monday from 9 a.m. to noon, except the 3rd Monday of the month. On the 3rd Monday of the month, Brighton Fare Share operates from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
