We wrapped up our final art class for Textile Arts aimed at children aged 6-9, and what a fantastic session it was! To conclude, we dove into some embroidery, and the kids truly showcased their creativity and skill. In our previous class, we explored weaving techniques and even discovered how to print on fabric using styrofoam, which was a hit! It has been a wonderful journey, and we’re excited to announce that the next Textile Art class for ages 9-12 will kick off on April 1st, 2025. Registration is currently open, so be sure to sign up!

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.

Lennon Adkins was hired in the summer of 2020 to help with the development, maintenance, and harvest of this years Community Garden. He has been hard at work alongside Peter and Renske, who have graciously dedicated a piece of their land for the establishment of this garden. Our Community Garden continues to be an incredible resource, providing fresh, organic produce that goes straight to our residents. There has already been roughly 500 lbs of  food harvested and distributed to local residents and we are only half way through the season. Not only has the Community Garden contributed to our mission for increasing food security but also provides educational and employment opportunities to our local youth.  Peter and Renske could not be better mentors and Lennon has proven to be an incredible young man, a very hard worker, and a wonderful student to work with.

This summer student position is funded by Service Canada through the Canada Summer Jobs program.
