Several Canadian community organizations have secured funding to bolster food security and resource accessibility.

The Summerland Food Bank and Resource Centre has received $105,000 in donations for a new 372 square metre facility currently under construction on Henry Avenue. Contributions include $60,000 from the Summerland Health Care Auxiliary, $30,000 from Paul Rodgers and Cynthia Kereluk, and $15,000 from Susan McIver. Additionally, Common Good Pharmacy donated $20,000 for a resource room equipped with computers and a library. The facility aims to serve as a one-stop centre for individuals in need, connecting them with 19 social agencies.

In another development, the Ladysmith Family and Friends Society has been awarded $25,000 through Farm Credit Canada’s AgriSpirit Fund. This grant will support food recovery, preservation, and distribution through new equipment and garden enhancements. The Ladysmith project is among 83 rural community initiatives across Canada receiving a portion of $1.5 million in total funding from the federal Crown corporation.
