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.
In October 2025, Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society was unexpectedly acknowledged in the house by MLA Steve Morissette. An incredibly beautiful tribute, CCFRS was recognized for the dedication and growing impact the organization has on the Cherryville community. Check out the post and video below.

Today I shared in the house a remarkable organization serving the Cherryville, B.C., Canada, the Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society. A small but mighty centre that is proof that when people care deeply about one another, they can build something truly special.
A place where practical support meets genuine kindness. There’s a free income tax clinic, food security programs and help with everything from benefits to advanced care planning.
But what makes the Cherryville Resource Centre so special is that it’s not just about services; it’s about belonging. For seniors, that sense of belonging comes through in the seniors services and compassionate communities program. For those living with disabilities, Cherryville’s outreach team helps navigate the often complicated process of applying for supports.
Of course, the Cherryville Resource Centre is investing in the future of the community through its youth and family programs. They invite the community to get involved, to volunteer, to donate or collaborate. The result is a web of support that’s as strong as it is caring.
Behind all of this are the people, the staff, the volunteers and neighbours who make Cherryville shine. They are the beating heart of Cherryville’s commitment to taking care of one another.
To everyone at the Cherryville Resource Centre, the Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society and the board of directors, thank you. Thank you for showing us what’s possible when we put people first. Your work reminds us that rural doesn’t mean remote. It means resilient. And Cherryville proves that when we invest in community, we build a stronger, kinder British Columbia for everyone.
