LONDON, ONT. --
Protecting yourself from COVID-19 comes at a cost for many of us, but for some families already struggling to get by it’s an extra burden.
That’s why a donation of 7,500 disposable masks is a big help to the Northwest London Resource Centre.
“Now we can be able to give these donated masks to families so they do not make a choice between buying food or buying masks,” says Amani Radhaa from the centre.
She says the demand for help has jumped since COVID-19.
“We used to see 10 to 15 individuals access the emergency food cupboard, at the height of COVID we we're seeing an average between 120 to 150 individuals a day.”
