What was your inspiration to get involved in food banking?
Sarah Norman from Saint George
"I worked for an organization that ran a food bank as a side program. Honestly, I didn’t even know our town had a food bank! Being there often, I saw small things that I knew I could “fix”, and make things better for those who needed the service. Before I knew it, our food bank had grown twice its size in both space and numbers!"

“When I first moved to Lethbridge, I was unaware that 1 in 5 children in Lethbridge lives in poverty, the highest in all of Alberta. Having just been a new mom that statistic had a significant influence on my desire to help."
