Big Thanks to Our Generous Donors

"We would like to express our deep appreciation for your financial support in 2025,” writes Board Chair Jim Wilson in a letter thanking the community for its generosity."

“Your contributions directly help those experiencing food insecurity in our community and enable the Minden Community Food Centre to deliver these vital services to those in need.”

He highlights the impact MCFC had last year, including this fact:

On average, our food bank serves 147 families per month, equating to around 352 individuals.

This represents an increase of 30% for individuals and 38% more families from 2024.
