Our Supporters and Partners

The Summerland Food Bank & Resource Centre could not operate without the generosity of its many donors and the agencies that provide grants for various activities and projects. Many of our donors do not wish to be identified – but we acknowledge with immense gratitude all who help.

If you are a donor and you wish to have your name appear on this page, please contact us.

Emergency Fund Donors

The emergency fund allows us to provide some immediate help to individuals. Examples of this help have included work boots for someone starting a new job, a tank of propane for heat in winter, head lice kits for a family, and a back brace for performing light work after an accident.
