It's foodbank week here at the CBC and I got the pleasure of doing a number of stories about this vital service. Here's the first - most people know how foodbanks work - people donate food, the food gets collected at the warehouse and then given to needy people. But as I discovered, that's not all there is to it.
For instance, did you know that schools all over BC also have food banks, and free breakfast and lunch programs for students? As I discovered, the real charm of these programs is the way they try to ensure that needy kids get a good meal without other students knowing who they are. Hot Meals ![]()
