Canadian Food Bank statistics.

[Mrs-M]

Was just listening to the news this morning and according to a report from Ottawa, Food Bank usage in Canada is up 27% from 2008. (Canadian food bank use has now reached its highest level on record).

Does anyone from the US have any idea what percentage, Food Bank use is up across the States?

Here's a statistic.
