July is a traditionally low point at the Kelowna Food Bank when it comes to food donations. St. Pius X Parish is planning to help. In addition to donating $2,000 for perishable items such as milk and eggs, we also hope to collect non-perishable items each Sunday as you come to Mass. All July is Food Bank month, please bring your contributions to Church or you can drop them off at the Kelowna Community Food Bank at 1265 Ellis Street. Financial donations are also welcome between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm at the Food Bank. Due to their non-profit status, they can buy three times more food for a dollar than we can.
