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.
Check out some of the cool projects completed in our different Arts & Culture program for Cherryville youth. These were taken from our Recycled City and Foraging Art classes.
Thank you Steph Bellows for a wonderful Arts & Culture season with our Cherryville kiddos!
Cherryville Arts & Culture classes will resume in the Fall of 2024 – keep an eye out for registration dates and timelines.
In March, 2025 we received $15,000 from Food Banks Canada through the Emergency Food Action grant. With a 20% increase in Cherryville households in need of monthly hampers since 2022, our capacity to support the consistent demand has been difficult. This past January-March were particularly difficult months as we had significantly less food donations available over these months and our hamper quantity and quality were compromised. When our Food Bank Floor Manager was asked why there was such a decrease in available food donations over these months, he thoughtfully pondered the impact of the imposing tariffs on our food systems. Despite the unsettling economic and political climate this past year, we were incredibly blessed to be a recipient of the Emergency Food Action grant. Due to these funds to purchase food, we were able to replenish our much needed staple items including healthy perishable items from March-June which directly benefited our local families and households in need.
THANK YOU
Another MASSIVE success! And the perfect class to end our 4 part Arts & Culture series. Keep an eye out for more Arts & Culture sessions as we are excited to get started with some new and exciting classes Fall of 2023.
