Transformation underway at the new Community Food & Wellness Hub

But unfortunately with COVID and trouble getting equipment across the border, they’re behind in their timeline.

She says the building’s intention is to become a space for all of us to gather.

“You’re going to see a cafe space, you’re going to see a pantry space that people can access emergency food from, an industrial kitchen, four teaching kitchens, as well as a huge garden in the back with a movie theatre and all kinds of really fun things for the community.”

She says clients and participants are also excited about the idea that they can be part of something a little bit bigger and connect with their neighbours and friends.

The food bank has been working towards this goal for five years. Symmonds thanks the community, neighbourhood, and local supporters who are helping make the project come to life.

Meantime, Basics for Babies takes place on June 17 at Mr. Lube.

CHAT 94.5 will be broadcasting live the entire day from 5:30 AM-6 PM.

You can drop off a diaper or cash donation. E-transfers can be sent to donate@mhfoodbank.com.

Fire and police will also be on location checking car seats from 1 PM – 4 PM.

Mr. Lube will donate $10 from every oil change that day.
