Donate Winter Coats & Boots

The Cowichan Neighbourhood house at the Old Fire Hall in Chemainus distributes free clothing on Fridays for families in need.

We are short of winter coats and boots.  If you have gentle used warm clothing that you would like to donate please bring them buy at the Community Recycle station on Thetis Wednesday or Saturday.  

I will bring the clothing to the Neighbourhood house next week, or you can drop your donations at the Old Fire Hall weekday afternoons.

Thanks, Lynda Poirier

Soup's On & Supper's On

It was wonderful to see so many friends & neighbours at today's Soup's On.  

The Soups' On crew is now offering home-baked goods for sale during Soup's On.  The items offered will depend on that day's cooks.  Payment is to be made to the cooks, not by donation.  Please remember to bring a few extra $ to take advantage of some yummy baking.

During the Soup's On events in the week or two prior to an upcoming Supper's On event, there will be a Supper' On sign up sheet provided.  You are welcome to sign up, reserve by phone 250-246-4079 or e-mail us with your reservation.

We'll always have extra space for a few walk-ins.  

For the first Supper's On on October 6th, view the menu by clicking here.
