TerkErJerbs,

Sorry but this model of foodbank was roughly over 70% the norm in most places prior to covid because it cuts down on wasted food (i.e. the hamper box system distributes a lot of food people either don’t, or won’t eat). Post-covid most banks had to go back to the hamper model to limit exposure to the sorting and storage areas.

I’ve both volunteered and worked at, as well as drawn from, several food banks. Idk if sask is just decades behind or what’s going on with this article but, no.
