We are beyond grateful to the continuous generosity afforded to Cherryville Community Food & Resource Society by The Colin & Lois Pritchard Foundation. We have been absolutely blessed by this foundation and their extraordinary giving hearts! Thank You from all of us at the Cherryville Resource Society.
It was heartwarming to have so many people attend our 15 Year Celebration Event on Saturday, August 9th, 2025. This year marks 15 years since our inauguration and wow has our organization grown! From a few key people with no space but a heart to feed families to a multi-service organization with a beautiful Food Bank and Resource Center building open to the public Monday-Thursday, 8:00-3:00. Thank you to all the incredible community partners who came out to represent their organizations and the wonderful work they are doing in the Cherryville community. A special thanks to Nick Johnson from Food Banks BC who bestowed the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal to president and founder of Cherryville Community Food & Resource Society, Sharon Harvey.

Thank you to Food Banks Canada for supporting Cherryville Community Food & Resource Society with a very generous grant, with
funding through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Emergency Food Security Fund. The food security services we provide would not be possible without your incredible support.
Photos are of our 2021 Christmas Hamper & Gifts for Children Event. Thanks to Food Banks Canada, we were able to purchase food to fill 70 hampers! This is an increase compared to previous years and a testament to how COVID-19 continues to impact our community. Thank you again for your ongoing support!
The students from Cherryville Elementary School who helped the Cherryville Community Food & Resource Society set up and prepare hampers for the Christmas Hamper & Gifts for Children event. Thank you all!
Express yourself was a really fun and creative session. The kiddos really enjoyed it. We had many great discussions around the table and lots of laughs as we worked through the process of art and did not focus on the outcome. We used music, dance and skipping to get our body moving and keep our creative juices flowing.
