Deals, Questions, Info. General Chatting and Skanky Mischief

[Tbites]

Same for me... Was like that last week also I think. Maybe they don't want to post their flyer online anymore???

Last week I thought it was because of the holidays but now ?

The flyers are not available for any store. Maybe a glitch in their system or they have not loaded the flyer yet.

[Patty Smyth]

I have the flyer, don't get too excited.

What happens to a local food bank in the middle of July

More typical clients are Canadian-born families and single men ages 45 to 64.
Often, those men live in rooming houses where cooking facilities are almost as basic as their cooking skills. Crossling said that means providing them with simple but hearty fare packed with nutrients. “Immigrant families are much more likely to know how to stretch out a bag of dried lentils than they are.”
This spring, Share the Warmth held a community kitchen where some of the men who use the food bank learned how to make food go farther, such as adding chickpeas and cilantro to a small amount of ground meat. “We’re going to do it again in the fall. They learn to make healthier, cheaper meals and they get together to chat, so they don’t feel so cut off.”

Methinks some of us have more in our personal stockpile than what's at this foodbank.

We should organize a stockpile meeting and go share the love!

I gave away a lot of my non perishable stash when we went vegetarian but I have some stuff for sure. Especially H&B stuff.

We are all so far apart but maybe we can all give to our closest one or did you want to give to Share the Warmth. They are in NDG I think.

Does anyone have a link for food banks in Qc? i'd rather donate locally, if possible.

[IMLN]

Yep local sounds good! And i just found what i was looking for!

A couple of things:

- There's a post challenging those who have the means to spend $10 on food for your local food bank. Stretch that $10 as far as you can using coupons and sales. Post your results on the thread.

- Found this website for Food Banks Québec http://www.banquesalimentaires.org/204-accueil . (I don't think it's available in English). You can enter your postal code on the right side, and they will show some food banks near you. I entered my postal code, and it did not show the two food banks that are very close to me. I assume it's because they are not part of that network.

- Moisson Montreal (Harvest Montreal) distributes food to smaller local food banks. Here's a list of those food banks organized by region. You may be able to find one close to you on this list: http://www.moissonmontreal.org/pdf_en/Agencies_MM.pdf

Happy donating!

I did this once for a whole year, You would be amazed at what $10 can buy with coupons

[GeorgiaK]

I just made another donation to my local food bank. Can't believe that I could do this with no money and could not do it when I was working full time. That shows you the power of couponing.

I loved seeing the pics of your donation project. Very inspiring.
