I realize I have never lived in such a big apartment building before, nor had to go up and down the elevator to get to my own unit. I will appreciate the various activities that are put on by the City of Hamilton here, esp. in the winter. I was becoming a bit too reclusive in that little house where I was living before.</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">I haven't really had to use a food bank for a few years now but I went to what is called the food market here because some of my neighbours encouraged me to check it out and offered to find me some things that are good for my diabetic diet. The sign of the times is that the Hamilton food bank system no longer has enough food to distribute here. I did manage to get some produce (lettuce, cucumber, potatoes, a bagged salad, a couple of nectarines) but that was about all they had. That's fine. This is the last time this food bank will be in the building, as they just don't have enough food donations to distribute. You all have noticed the steep costs at the grocery store. The weeks' worth of groceries that I paid $70 or so for 5 years ago is now costing me about $100. It's a pretty basic but healthy diet.</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">So, please consider wherever you shop and give a couple of donations at the grocery store. Or, if you feel you can afford it, send a cheque or some monetary donation to your local food bank.</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><font size="4">Thanks, Pat</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><i>Patricia Smiley<br></i></div><div><i>email: <a href="mailto:smileypatricia76@gmail.com" target="_blank">smileypatricia76@gmail.com</a><br></i></div><i>mobile: 647-517-1599<br></i></div><i> <br></i></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
