Jun 24, 2017 — GREENWOOD, BC (BG)

My name is Riccardo Manazza and I'm the President/Chair of the newly incorporated food bank/Share society of Area E. I would like to introduce to you the creation of this new society in light of the recent loss of the Food bank in Greenwood.

We are in the starting stages, so there is a lot of organizing and setting up to do. As a director I'm fully aware of the recent events, and we at KRFSS are working together to establish a reliable service for all the valley, and we are currently cooperating with all of the individuals involved in the Greenwood Food Bank to provide service to the individuals in need.

At this time I would like to make the readers aware that we are working on solutions, but we are also calling on everyone's help and volunteer work. We are hoping to raise awareness to create and provide a sustainable service for everyone in need, with no discrimination and complete discretion. I write in the hope that we can offer solutions for the residents of Greenwood and others in the Boundary region.

I want to call on the whole community and bring everybody together, and bring solutions to the table. We need to discuss and have open conversations in regards to what we have in assets, whether it be tools or intellect or space. Organize ourselves and move towards supplying solutions and raising all of the communities in the Boundary area to a happy and prosperous standard of living. I believe in each individual that resides in this beautiful and abundant country to want a better and healthy Boundary region.

For any individuals that would like to contact me to share their ideas, donations or offer volunteer work, my phone number is (250) 408-4872 and my email address is manazzariccardo@gmail.com. I have setup a Facebook Page at Facebook.com/kettleriverfoodshare, and soon we will be working on a website to create a network for clients, volunteers and members of the community to come together, share ideas and create solutions.

Sincerely,

Riccardo Manazza
President of Kettle River Food Share Society
