Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country has launched a fund that will support up to 200 family meals per week for members of the region’s hurting hospitality industry during the coronavirus pandemic.
The HOPE (Helping Our People Eat) fund was created in partnership with Oliver Eats and fuelled by the wine organization’s 44 wineries.
The fund will support workers who have lost their job due to COVID-19. These workers are usually employed by wineries, restaurants and other hospitality businesses in Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country’s region, which extends from McIntyre Bluff to the U.S.
border. “We are confident of recovery in our region but we know that it rests on the reassurance that our hospitality workers will still be here when that happens,” says
