Since the Bowen Island Food Bank returned to pantry-style distribution in September, use is “hugely up,” said perennial head volunteer Sue Clarke.
Use appears to be up over last year as well, she said.
Thankfully, the food bank is well stocked.
“We are quite well fixed financially due to Bowen’s generosity and have recently received a large amount of food from various island food drives,” said Clarke.
The food bank is set for the usual Christmas fare over the holidays – turkeys, hams, fruit pies and lots of cookies and candies – thanks to island giving.
