Food Bank Use Down Slightly

Surprising numbers from a new survey by Food Banks Canada.

It shows the number of people using food banks has dropped by about
40 thousand in the past year.

Sandra Poole is the business manager for the Salvation Army in Kenora
and says they've also seen a decline, but its mostly because they've
tightened up their qualifications.

Poole says they usually see anywhere from 30 to 40 people a month
at their food bank in downtown Kenora.
