The Food Bank Garden was built by local people and supports the Slocan Valley Food Cupboard during the growing and harvesting season. The Food Bank Garden is tended by our Garden Manager Cory, seasonal Garden Assistants, and our amazing volunteers. In 2022 the garden produced 1677lbs of produce to help feed the community. The Food bank Garden also includes a Community Garden space, community members can join for a small fee and have use of some space to garden for themselves.

Food Bank Garden also provides fresh in season produce to the community with our new Donation Fridge initiative. When there is produce available on weeks when there is no food bank, the Donation Fridge will be kept stocked outside the Food Bank door, for community members to take what they need, and leave a donation to help keep our Food Bank Garden flourishing for many years to come.
