POV: You’re about to check out of your accommodation in Revelstoke
You’ve just finished your amazing holiday in Revelstoke and you're packing your things getting ready to check out. Suddenly, you remember the unopened crackers in the kitchenette that you grabbed for a cheese board. Or maybe a can of soup you bought thinking you’d need a quick, hot meal after a day on the slopes. You don’t have room in your bag or don’t want to get flagged at airport security.
The solution? In Revelstoke, it’s simple for you to have a positive impact on the environment and our community. Upon checkout of your accommodation, take your unopened food to the food bank if you can’t take it with you.
Donating to the food bank.
The Community Connections Food Bank distributes groceries and meals to households experiencing food insecurity. Located at 416 2nd St West, The Food Bank gratefully accepts items that are new, unopened, and within the expiry date.
Non-perishable food donations can be brought anytime and dropped in the donation box in front of the building.
Perishable food donations can be brought during business hours from Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am-3:00 pm, and Fridays from 10:00 am-12:00 pm. Ring the doorbell for service.
As of 2022, the Food Bank has recovered more than 750,000 lbs of food, which would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.
