Local food bank hopes for fresh deposit: Fresh produce donations are hard to come by, and expensive for the Cowichan Lake Food Bank which operates mostly on donated non-perishable food. In the past local residents have helped out by offering fresh fruit and garden vegetables that they have in excess during their harvest. Cindy Vaast, CLFB coordinator, says there is never enough fresh produce, and she appreciates whatever local residents can spare. If you can donate your extra garden fruit and vegetables, or would like more information, please contact Vaast at 250-749-6239 or Betty Sanddar at 250-749-4802. The food bank operates out of the Lake Cowichan Christian Fellowship Church basement. Donations to this registered charity are recognized with a receipt for tax deduction purposes. Monetary donations can be made to the Lake Cowichan Food Bank by mailing a cheque to PO Box 1087, Lake Cowichan, B.C., V0R 2G0.
