North Sydney Food Bank Society: federal grants and contributions

Retrofit and upgrade of a multi-purpose facility in North Sydney, NS includes accessibility upgrades for visitors who have mobility devices (canes, walkers, etc.), or have limited mobility from injury or disability. Funding will also support the addition of solar panels, which will eliminate approximately $35,000 in operating costs annually. These resources will be reinvested by the not-for-profit organization in additional programming related to reducing food insecurity and poverty.
