The only thing that we are seeing in reference to volunteerism is the relational poverty piece, and I think the pandemic did a real number on this. We have also presented a positive piece, in that charities can really help people come together and weave them together. People are moving out of isolation, but the two biggest challenges right now are isolation and putting food on the table.
Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to share some insights on the daily workings of the Central Okanagan Food Bank and the clients we serve.
