County that were served by
food banks in 2013, 7,600 of
which were children.
The distribution centre
delivered approximately 2
million pounds of food to 66
supported agencies, 28 of
which that are regularly.
Also, 15,000 meals have
been served at the Clinton
Soup Kitchen since its
inception.
Zielman said there
numerous reasons why resi-
dents have to use food
banks, including job loss,
death, illness and relation-
ship breakdowns.
She said these issues
could lead to feelings of
stress, being overwhelmed
and hopelessness, which
eventually can lead to more
serious illnesses and greater
health care costs.
Donohoe said the funding
would provide the organiza-
tion with financial stability,
as they are heavily -volunteer
driven.
"We wouldn't be able to
operate every day without
120 hours of volunteer work
per week," she said.
Last year, the county pro-
vided $25,000 in funding to
the centre.
Donohoe said that money
allowed them to hire new
staff and distribute to new
suppliers.
If the county chooses to
support their request, it
would give them more lever-
age when it comes to receiv-
ing matching funds from
other levels of government
and private organizations.
"We need to collaborate,
co-operate, connect and
lead with compassion,"
Donohoe said.
Huron East Deputy Mayor
Joe Steffler was strongly in
support of approving the
request.
"I'm amazed at the num-
ber of people in Huron
County who use a food
bank," he said. "Charity
starts at home, people going
hungry in Huron County is
unacceptable."
CAO Brenda Orchard
informed council that it is
usually county policy to have
staff bring a report back on
such requests.
Huron East Mayor Bernie
MacLellan said he was in
support of the request as
well, but he had a few
concerns.
"I don't want the county to
be what makes it sustaina-
ble," MacLellan said,
requesting if the funding is
approved, officials from the
distribution centre report
back on the status of the
organization yearly.
Furthermore, he said he
would prefer if the same
request were not made to
the next county council four
years from now, stating it
wouldn't be "sustainable':
MacLellan also would like
to see the county become
more involved more with the
distribution centre's fund-
raising efforts.
The staff report is expected
in the new year.
