New this year to this list is the Dryden Food Bank's refrigerated van. This is a $70,000 item for the Food Bank. It is a necessary requirement in order for the Food Bank to meet Ontario's regulations regarding the picking up of food items from stores such as the major grocery stores in Dryden. Such a van will permit the Food Bank to retrieve more food for their clients during the year. Dryden Rotary's contribution will kick-start the Food Banks fund-raising to pay for the van.
