The Food Bank is so grateful for all the organizations and individuals that support us year-round. It allows us to provide more food security here on Bowen Island. At Christmas, it is natural for us to say THANK YOU for all your “in-kind” donations that appear on our shelves week after week. Our guest book near the Food Bank frequently includes heart warming notes of thanks and gratitude from those who access the food bank.
And if anyone doesn’t know, the main volunteer for the Food Bank is Sue Clarke, pictured above. So we want to publicly acknowledge and thank her for her energy, dedication and commitment. Virtually every morning Sue checks the shelves and freezer to make sure there is a variety of food available, and also does the weekly shopping to make that possible.
Sue and Angela McCulloch originally founded the food bank, over twenty years. This “pantry-style” Food Bank is always open, 365 days a year, in the front of the Little Red Church. If you care to make a donation, particularly at this time of year of gratitude and giving, please make your cheque payable to The Bowen Island United Church, with “Food Bank” written on the memo line on the cheque, and you will receive a tax receipt in the new year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS from all of us at The Little Red Church.
