Club offers food programs and boosts connection on Galiano
A century-old club on Galiano is using a Victoria Foundation grant to boost food security on the island with a food bank, community greenhouse and school food programs. The Galiano Club has been serving the southern Gulf Island community since the 1920s, when it was formed to encourage social activity, promote interest in agriculture, create a public library and build a public hall. One of the club’s main current initiatives for the population of about 1,400 is a frozen-meal program for seniors, which can help keep seniors in their own homes longer, said Alison Colwell, the club’s executive director.
