Earlier in 2024 we were pleased to be awarded a generous United Way Climate Resilient Communities: Food Infrastructure grant. We have purchased our first big item with a portion of the grant recieved from United Way British Columbia. Sturdy movable wire shelving has been added to store all our food and meal preparation supplies. These supplies come from a variety of sources including Loaves and Fishes, donations from the congregation and community and an additional United Way grant (we're a Food Hub spoke) for food and salary costs. The food and supplies support our always available Blessing Box, our daily morning drop-in (St. Columba's Sanctuary) and our Sunday lunch program.For more on the United Way Food Infrustructure grants see here.
