Summer is always a tough time of the year with food and monetary donations to the North Bay Food Bank, so a gift from Walmart came at just the right time.

That from Food Bank Manager Amber Livingstone after they received a cheque for $12,224 last week.

Earlier this year Walmart Canada launched a new campaign called Fight Hunger Spark Change.

Customers and employees at the North Bay Walmart donated $10,224 with Walmart Canada making a corporate match of $2,000.

The North Bay Food Bank is available to accept food and monetary donations year round.

The food bank is located at 1016 Fisher Street in North Bay and is open to serve clients Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
