Island Winery Calls on British Columbia to Help Feed Cowichan Families$1 from every bottle of Blue Grouse or Quill wine sold anywhere in BC goes to Nourish Cowichan to feed hungry children. For those who would like to contribute to the campaign without the purchase of alcohol, please donate through Canada Helps.
April is BC Wine Month, so it’s the perfect time for Blue Grouse to celebrate their Island winery and get charitable.
The team at Nourish Cowichan prepares hampers and gives food to families that are going through financial insecurity. The donations are divided among those in need including schools in the Cowichan Valley district, the maternity clinic, the Cowichan Valley District Hospital, and many daycares in the area.
Many families are starting to get back on their feet, and need support, whether through a wine purchase or a straight donation to Nourish Cowichan. Last year, through sales and matching funds, Blue Grouse was able to donate $20,000 to Nourish Cowichan and provide 10,000 meals to families in need! An outstanding result that was only achieved through donations in multiple channels.
To meet or beat 2022, the whole Blue Grouse team is engaged to ask for as many donations as possible through the winery, online, restaurants, and retail stores.
