Kudos

Thanks to the bands and organizers of the “Feed the Need” show featuring Nautical Disaster, who fundraised $4800.

This year’s Thanksgiving Food Drive resulted in 4140lbs. of food that you, the Sooke community, donated — 1500lbs. more than last year.

A big shout-out to the amazing volunteers at Sooke Baptist Church’s Grace Gardens, who tend the gardens twice weekly to donate food to Sooke Food Bank.

In total, they have donated over $25K to food banks across Vancouver Island and the gulf islands this year.

Thank you to staff, who took their own time and money to bake delicious treats, and to the community for buying them.

Thank you Sooke Harbourside Lions Club for your time, energy and support in helping sort the Cobs Bread donations twice each month.

Sooke Lioness Club and Sooke Baptist Church annual school supply donations help students be prepared for success at school!

Locally-caught fish and freshly-harvested fruits and veggies make their way to our food bank.

Thank you South Vancouver Island Anglers Coalition for a donation of fresh-caught fish and proceeds from your 50/50 draw.

Thank you to Pacific Jamboree for the VERY generous food donation that enabled us to help so many organizations, meal programs, outreach services and families.

Thanks to Artisans Garden and Living the Dream Farm for donating local veggie seedlings.

One local bakery is doing its part to make sure the community has enough food, baking 32 loaves daily for the Sooke Food Bank.
