Food Bank Friday: Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre
During the pandemic, things slowed down at the Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre but, as the world has reopened, its client list is growing.
The Summerland Food Bank does so much more than help fill the cupboards and fridges of those who need a little extra help. It also shares food with Summerland schools in a pantry program and Roberts says it will be continuing its backpack program in the new year. On top of all of that, it is also a service hub.
“We actually have right now about 14 agencies that come and use our office space to meet with Summerland residents,” said Roberts. Now, they are preparing for the busy holiday season and registration is currently open for holiday hampers.Global Okanagan — Your Okanagan Calendar Campaign 2022
