TP organizer Ellen Faulkner tells us her group collected a grand total of 1,128 rolls of toilet paper delivered to North Bay Food Bank after Sunday's Battalion game.

They also collected over $200 cash.

"They are low this year. For a couple of year we have given them to 20 charities but we discovered last year that the Food Bank goes through 11 thousand rolls of toilet paper every year. The Battalion kicked off our start and in May we'll have our collection locations at different stores."

This is the fourth year collecting toilet paper.

"The first year we did 15,465. Our goal this year is 20,000. More people are out of jobs now and having to turn to the Food Bank."
