The holiday season is here, and it’s time to spread cheer while giving back to our community! Last year, the Dockside Marine family came together for an incredible cause: a food drive supporting the Central Okanagan Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we filled our trusty 1040 Jon Boat with non-perishable food items—a truly inspiring sight and a moment of pride for everyone involved.

This year, we’re excited to announce that the Dockside Marine Food Drive is back, and we’re taking it up a notch: we’re upgrading the boat to a Lund WC-14! Our goal is to fill this bigger, more impressive boat with your donations and make an even bigger impact.

Why It Matters
The Central Okanagan Food Bank provides essential support to individuals and families in need, especially during the holiday season. For many, this time of year can be challenging, and your donations help ensure families have enough to eat. Every can, box, or bag makes a difference and brings hope to someone in our community.

What to Bring:
Non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, soups, and other staples.

Where to Drop Off:
Dockside Marine Centre
2053 Campbell Road, West Kelowna

When:
Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Dates: November 19 – December 19

No donation is too small, every contribution counts!

Let’s Fill That Boat
Our goal is simple: fill the upgraded Lund WC-14 with food and bring holiday joy to those who need it most. With your help, we can make this year’s food drive even bigger and more impactful than ever. Stop by Dockside Marine Centre to drop off your donations and be part of this heartwarming effort. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of our neighbors this holiday season.

Thank you for your generosity, and let’s make the 2025 food drive one to remember!
