The Kelowna Community Food Bank is dedicated to providing healthy food to local families and individuals who are in temporary financial difficulty.

They are a self-supporting non-profit organization, raising food and funds through donations, special events, community food drives and local and national sponsors. The Food Bank is operated by a volunteer board of directors, 8 staff members and more than 100 volunteers who contribute over 20,000 hours annually, providing essential services including food collection, distribution and sorting, hamper preparation, client assistance and referrals, and special event planning and fundraising.

They provide short-term support to Kelowna families and individuals in need of temporary assistance. Their mission has grown to help alleviate chronic hunger and poverty in the Central Okanagan by providing their clients with a 5 to 7 day supply of healthy food on a monthly basis. Annually, we serve more than 30,000 persons including nearly 10,000 children, distributing over $2 million in food.
