Two Kamloops projects are taking part in the annual Aviva Community Fund competition.
The Centre for Seniors Information is seeking funding in the $50,000 to $100,000 level from the insurance company’s challenge, money it would use to create a larger-scale community kitchen.
The centre in Brocklehurst envisions a program that will offer a food subsidy to those on low fixed incomes and create a location where people can share and learn skills, food preparation, security and basic interpersonal skills.
The program could also provide a place for people to go who otherwise would spend their days in isolation.
The Interior CarShare Co-operative is campaigning in the less than $50,000 category with its project to create a 24-hour fleet of vehicles people can rent on a short-term basis — going to the grocery store, visiting friends or other quick jaunts.
The vehicles would be owned by co-operative members, who would share them to help keep transportation costs low and to do their part to improve the environment by reducing emissions.
