Christmas food bank for the Kelowna and surrounding municipalities

Kelowna General Hospital is a world-class teaching hospital and lead referral centre for over one million adults and children from across the interior of British Columbia, Canada.

The hospital offers high-level, special medical care, including 24-hour emergency and trauma services, ambulatory and outpatient clinics, and diagnostic/paramedical services.

For the past eight years, staff from the Kelowna Hospital’s portfolio company and its subcontractor have been volunteering during the Christmas hamper season at the Central Okanagan Food Bank, an annual tradition where volunteers help to prepare and deliver food hampers to those in need.

The Central Okanagan Food Bank is a critical resource to Kelowna and surrounding municipalities that aims to create a healthy, hunger-free community for those in need. Over 18,000 children and youth alone access the Central Okanagan Food Bank services annually.
