YOUR IMPACT
Our COVID-19 Response Across BC Vernon Our Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) Community Response Units (CRU’s) have been put to good use during the current COVID-19 crisis. In Vernon, since gathering in the cafeteria is not possible at this time, meals are served daily from the CRU to people in need. Thanks to your support during these unprecedented times we continue to serve those in need. Our programs and services remain open, with some key changes allowing us to continue supporting our community’s most vulnerable. Here is how that looks in a few cities throughout the province. Vancouver At Boundless Vancouver our Free Food Market switched to prepackaged bags full of essential groceries. Over 200 packages of groceries were given out in one day to members of the community.
Alberni Valley Throughout the Alberni Valley, staff and volunteers are hard at work, delivering meals to over 500 people in need, and serving to more than 100 directly from the EDS vehicle. Cranbrook In Cranbrook we are ensuring that children who regularly rely on school lunch programs are still getting nutritious meals throughout the week by preparing food hampers with everything they need.
