Hard times in the Maritimes--that's how North End community activist Tammy Calvin is describing the situation with lots of people out of work and struggling.
Calvin and Andrea Richards are living in the back of the trailer again this year until it's full of food for the North End Food Bank.
She says they have an empty 53 foot trailer that they are hoping to fill in three days.
Calvin says they are looking for non-perishable food but will also accept fruit and vegetables and even winter coats.
The trailer is starting out in the parking lot at the North end Sobey's and then moving to an auto service centre at Metcalf & Lansdowne.
