Donations, the BCHF explained, have slowed significantly in recent weeks.
Oliver鈥檚 Chuch and State operations manager, Caroline Lachapelle, said everyone at the winery is 鈥渄eeply concerned鈥� by the impact that closures and changes are having on our hospitality clients and comrades.
鈥淲e felt we needed to do something to help, and supporting the BCHF was a natural choice,鈥� she said.
Funds donated by each Church and State winery (one in the Okanagan and one on Vancouver Island) will help the BCHF continue to provide last-resort assistance for hospitality workers in financial crisis due to a serious health condition. The BCHF also offers a scholarship program that fosters the next generation of hospitality industry leaders.
Those looking to purchase wine can include it in restaurant take-away orders, however Trebella and Black Label Chardonnay are not included in this offer as they are already discounted.
