A Downtown Courtenay Business Initiative ❤
We have a big problem and we are hoping you can help!
Edible Island Whole Foods Market is being overwhelmed by orders from people that are elderly and/or quarantined/high risk and need groceries delivered. They can't keep up alone. Downtown Courtenay business owners and staff that no longer have work are joining together to make this happen but we could use more hands.
Are you healthy and not high risk? Can you help bring food to those in need? • Volunteers would shop for people in need when the store is closed (8-11am) and deliver food using their cars
• Edible Island will pay for gas/costs and provide a small thank you (such as a gift certificate)
- Groceries would already be paid for so it is drop and go
- Volunteers should be educated about minimizing risk, sanitation and protective gear (such as wearing gloves and face masks, hand washing).
If you are interested in being a part of the Downtown Courtenay Edible Island Army, email Steve at info@edibleisland.ca.
Thanks, everyone! We greatly appreciate it! Pass it on.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through 5th Street Not a shopkeep was working, they’re finally asleep;
The shoppers they came and showed us the love;
Found that something for someone without a push or a shove;
Now the gifts are all bought, west coast trinkets and toys,
To put under the tree for all you good girls and boys;
Tomorrow you’ll wake to see all the treats;
Unwrapping shoes, and Jammies, and mustards, and meats;
Enjoy time with the family just eating away;
And we’ll do the same until Boxing Day;
Thank you from your Downtown retailers, bakers and makers, For keeping it local - what a spectacular sight;
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!
