Before West Kelowna’s homeless population moves into a recently approved shelter near an area gravel pit, they will find refuge in the city’s old food bank.
The province, through BC Housing, has partnered with the City of West Kelowna and Turning Points Collaborative Society to lease the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank s West Kelowna facility for use as a temporary bridge shelter for people experiencing homelessness.
Located at 2545 Churchill Rd., the food bank will provide temporary shelter for people currently staying at the West Kelowna United Church shelter, which is closing on Aug. 16, until the new community shelter at 2515 Bartley Rd. opens in fall 2021. ....

The Greater Westside came together with a spirit of generosity during the West Kelowna Fire Rescue’s 23rd Annual Holiday Food Drive.
Food and cash donations were collected until Dec. 15 at the four westside fire halls and were combined with donations from City of West Kelowna staff for a total of 9,084 pounds of food and $2,650 in cash donations. With the Central Okanagan Food Bank’s 3x buying power, the cash donation equates to $7,950.
“The Food Bank was counting on us so we are so grateful to all of the community members who dropped off their donations at our fire halls across the Westside,” said Fire Chief Jason Brolund. “Due to provincial health orders, we were unable to go door to door this year, but the community’s holiday spirit shone through with residents dropping off donations at our fire halls.” ....
