The old Church before it burned down
|
Started on Feb. 13, 2004 the Vital Vittles free lunch program
was originally housed in the old Church.
The church burned down in 2005, and after continuing in alternate
locations, the program is now hosted in the new
church.
|
| On the opening day in 2004, many
notable Sooke citizens attended the free lunch. Not only was the
vegetable soup with lentils tasty, but there was pizza provided
by Andy Carrier of Sooke 2 for 1 pizza. Also a treat was to see
the Mayor of Sooke, Janet Evans and Counselor Lorna Barry in attendance.
Local MP, Brian Kerr attended, as well as Harry Eearks the reverend
of the church at that time. |
|
The Free Lunch is served at 1962 Murray Road, the street that
goes down to the waterfront at the junction of Otter Point Road
and Sooke Road.
Open to everyone, single parents with tots, adults, seniors
and teens. It's a time to come and meet your neighbors and get
a good meal.
