We recently completed a community pantry in collaboration with the Esquimalt Mutual Aid Society. This unit will be stocked by volunteers from Esquimalt Mutual Aid, making the food available to anyone in the community.
If this project works out well, we may build additional pantries to support this worthwhile cause..
