Big News: We’ve Upgraded Our Wheels!

We are thrilled to announce a major milestone for the Blessing Centre Food Rescue Team. we have officially purchased a dedicated cube van to help us better serve our community!

Our goal is to provide more than just a meal; we aim to provide nutrition, dignity, and care. By having the right tools for the job, we are able to bridge the gap between local food surplus and the neighbors who need it most!

We want to extend a massive Thank You to SC Johnson for making this purchase possible. Their support of our mission directly impacts the health and well-being of our guests.

Keep an eye out! When you see the new cube van around town, know that it’s headed back to the Centre filled with fresh possibilities.
