CRANBROOK FOOD RECOVERY & FARM KITCHEN
Our new facility provided a great opportunity to share our space with these two like-minded hunger-relief programs. It just makes sense to share food, equipment, resources, grant writing and allows us to serve our community better! Both are Community Connections of Sourtheast BC programs, and partnering with them helps us help others better!
