Staff say they had plenty of volunteers through December and they'd like to keep the momentum going.

Tammy MacKinnon, the soup kitchen manager, says volunteers will find the experience uplifting.

"They're going to feel like they're part of something important, and they're going to be able to understand there's a lot more going on around all of us than we're even aware," she said. "And to be able to be a part of something like that, it's actually aprivilege."

The food bank needs help with the 500 hampers it hands out each month, while the soup kitchen is looking for servers.
