DCM Bulletin - Demand for Food and Services
- Downtown Community Ministry
- With demand for foodbank services increasing, Downtown Community Ministry (DCM) supports those in need to address the underlying issues behind their need for assistance. In the first 6 months of this year compared with the same period in 2010, demand for food parcels has increased by 27%. The number of actual parcels being given out increased from 1337 to 1703. “Sometimes people come to the foodbank once, just to help them through a tricky week or two. But, the trend is that people need more assistance for longer, which shows how tough things are out there,” says David Manuel, Community Worker at DCM.
