Our team values giving back to the community that embraced us with open arms!
For the third year in a row, we will collect non-perishable food items and cash donations in support of the Central Okanagan Food Bank and Salvation Army Vernon Community Church until December 16th!
Central Okanagan Food Bank
The Central Okanagan Food Bank (COFB) is the largest food bank in the Interior of BC and provides nutritional food assistance to residents facing financial and food insecurity out of two locations, one in Kelowna and one in West Kelowna. As a charitable not-for-profit organization, COFB relies on the generosity of the community to support the work they do through the donation of food, funds, and time.
