The plan is to bring a new structure, similar to a mobile home, to the site to replace a 40-year-old pre-fab that’s wearing out
Ucluelet wants to support the local volunteer-run food bank by selling the non-profit group a small piece of parkland for $1.
Under the conditions of the agreement, the town will have the option to buy back the site if the food bank does not operate for six consecutive months, if the site is not maintained, or any time after 20 years. The society hopes to raise $100,0000 for land improvements and infrastructure, such as required utility services. Some construction businesses are donating their time.The siding, roof and interior are all the end of their lifespan, the food bank said on its website.
Martin said several large families regularly rely on the food bank, which is open on Tuesdays and delivers monthly hampers to Ucluelet, Tofino and nearby First Nations. She said the number of people who need assistance continues to grow.
