“Due to the current economic situation, more people are seeking help than ever before. People are worried about what they will eat today, and whether or not their children will have food for dinner.” said Susie Novak, Executive Director of North Country Food Bank, Inc. “North Country is working hard to carry the message that people in our very own communities need help. It is great when we can partner with events like WE Fest to help bring awareness to the great need in our communities and the work we do,” Novak said.
Remember to visit North Country’s ebay auction site. Your high bid can help make a big difference to those in need in every community. Each dollar donated to North Country can provide up to 5 meals for someone in our community at risk of hunger.
