‘Working to grow hope in Medicine Hat’: Mustard Seed requests urgent help

“With the rising cost of food prices and the increase in demand, we’re finding it harder to meet ends meet,” Giesbrecht explained.

Those who wish to help out can bring in items on the Mustard Seed’s urgently needed items list, including rice, noodles, canned soup, granola bars, flour, sugar and other food found on TheSeed.ca/Urgently-Needed.

The Seed is able to purchase food in bulk through donations made at TheSeed.ca/Inflation.

Hatters can also donate their time by volunteering at the Mustard Seed.

No amount of help is too small, Giesbrecht said.

“Each individual has the opportunity to make a real impact, and sometimes it feels like the small things that we might be able to contribute actually won’t go very far and make much of a difference, but it does,” she said.

“I would encourage everyone to think about ways that they might be able to either volunteer, give back that way, or to contribute financially. We are working to grow hope in Medicine Hat and that can only be done with the support of the community.”
