Holiday Hampers Program Supporting Food Security
community · November 2023 · Denman Island
The community organizes Holiday Hampers containing gifts, fresh produce, meat or vegan options, treats, and groceries to support families and individuals in need during the festive season. The number of requests has increased, with 46 hampers delivered last year and expectations of more this year. Donations of gifts, treats, groceries, and cash are welcomed and can be dropped off at local stores or donated online.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
