There are no official plans for the facility and a decision on whether or not to move forward with the facility was deferred by council last week.

The central Okanagan food bank is speaking out after concerns and questions were raised about a proposed hygiene centre at their vacant building in West Kelowna . As our Taya Fast reports, the proposal was not food banks idea and there are still no decisions as whether the proposal will move forward or not.The proposal is for a vacant building off of Churchill Road in the downtown core, which is owned by the Central Okanagan Food Bank .

“The reason why it’s vacant because over the last couple years, there’s been so many clients that have had to access the food bank, we actually had to lease building. And currently our lease is up in the end of September,” said “We have been really looking throughout the city to see if we can find another new building to lease until we actually build a purpose-built food bank here in the City of West Kelowna. Who knows, we may have to go back there in September. We don’t know yet.”The food bank does not need permission from council to move forward with a hygiene facility as the property is already zoned for it, but officials with the food bank say it was not their idea.

“We just want to be clear that it wasn’t our initiative. Our core mandate is to actually feed people and so that’s where we need to stay in that lane.” Read
