Lanark, Leeds and Grenville are not unique in the troubles many are having just to get by.
The Table CFC Executive Director Ramsey Hart says every time they request funding, they hear a similar response.
15% of LGL households are food insecure, and that number continues to grow with cost-of-living increases.
Hart told Perth council how important their annual $15,000 contribution is to them.
Council’s donation equals 14% of The Table’s annual food bank funding.
Hart spoke to council prior to a proposal made to gradually eliminate the Go To Others funding stream, which supports community organizations including The Table, due in the interest of budget savings.
