I dropped by to seek out my friend who I understood was there on this occasion. I was offered a bowl of soup, a sandwich, pastries and other goodies. I declined most of what I was offered however I did have a have a cup of coffee and enjoyed a cookie. The place was clean, people were well mannered and respectful of each other and the facility in general. While I wasn't able to locate my friend at this location I was provided some insight and my next place to check was successful. For those in need this place truly is a much needed solution to the constantly increasing cost of food and the all too often shortage of gainful employment opportunities. As the gap between the rich and the poor continues to grow services such as this will continue to be necessary and the demand I'm sure will grow. The people who dedicate their time and energy volunteering each day, week, month and year are truly wonderful people and deserve out respect!

Everyone is greeted with friendliness and sometimes even hugs. We are always made to feel good about ourselves even though we may feel awkward about needing help with groceries. No one in Duncan should be hungry with this wonderful food bank helping us.

Always amazing soup. I think Rene is how you spell the cooks name 2 thumbs up. Mmmmm. Thank you all for everything you do for myself and family!

Colleen who runs the food bank under the name of Cowichan Valley Basket Society is one of the Local Heroes. She and her support staff are under extreme pressure and performing admirably. I only wish I could rise to that level of commitment. It is simply a good place to go in and meet people although it might be scary to someone who has never gone into a soup kitchen, the people that are there are genuine. Go in between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. and say hi or walk up to the counter and ask for a soup and sandwich. And then go across the street to the Cowichan Library or the Cowichan Aquatic Center and have your world explode.

Great employees and volunteers, good hampers, and very friendly and hard workers.
