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.

We are beyond excited at Cherryville Community Food & Resource Society to be part of the North Okanagan Rural Response Initiative, funded by the Government of Canada via Health Canada’s Emergency Treatment Fund.
Working in partnership with Canadian Mental Health Association, Whitevalley Community Resource Centre, and local Indigenous partners, our goal is to deliver trauma-informed outreach services to Cherryville residents of all ages, absolving barriers to access and reducing stigma. Programming will primarily focus on mental health engagement, supports and prevention, harm reduction education, and peer support. Any Cherryville resident interested in learning more can reach out to our office Monday-Thursday, 8:00-3:00 @ 250-547-0089.
If you would benefit from one-to-one support to navigate mental health and/or substance use, we have recently onboarded a Social Worker dedicated to supporting folks and their families throughout their journey. You can call or text Angel at 250-550-8409, book an in-person or virtual appointment today, or email angel.zeolkowski@ccfrs.ca to get connected.
