Important Update for the Duration of the Covid-19 Pandemic:
WEGCSS would like to offer the best Food Bank service our resources allow, while minimizing the risk of Covid 19 infection to all. We have altered our Food Bank operations to protect the community, the volunteers and the staff. We offer food bank supplies first come first served from the outside of the building. Please always bring your own bags or boxes because we cannot supply them. We look forward to being able to share meals and social time again. Meanwhile, thanks for your patience.

We serve the Slocan Valley from New Denver to Playmor Junction.
Open 11am-3pm on the first and third Thursday of each month, first come first serve.
