OC Community Fridge
In an effort to help ease food insecurity, a campus fridge is now available to anyone who needs access to food at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ College’s Kelowna campus.
Located in the hallway outside the OC Student Union office (Room A148), the Kelowna campus fridge is based on the community fridge concept and is available to students during regular building hours.
The fridge is volunteer operated and stocked with donated food and is a great example of a collaborative effort to support students with a group of OC instructors known as the Breakfast Club working together with the OC Student Union and the campus administration team.
Food is being donated by the Lake Country Food Bank and local businesses, including COBS Bread and °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ Grocery Artisan Breads.
The Breakfast Club and the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û²éѯ will stock the fridge and do temperature checks and regular cleaning to ensure food safety.
The team’s motto is ‘take what you need, leave what you can.'
There is no appointment necessary and anyone needing food can drop by anytime the building is open. For more information, contact ocfridgekelowna@gmail.com.
