Saskatoon and Regina Food Banks Partnership
We’re excited to spotlight our Youth+Us partnership with both the Saskatoon and Regina Food Banks in support of food security for families in Saskatchewan.
In Saskatoon, the investment will be designated towards the Nutritional Education program and a learning space in the building. The Nutritional Education Program is a program that combines gardening with nutritional education, teaching youth how to grow and cook healthy food.
The investment in Regina will go towards supporting the new play structure adjacent to the Asahtowikamik Food Hub in Regina’s downtown core, allowing children of all ages to play while their families shop at the food bank, set up to give clients a market-like experience. The donation will also support youth school food programs in nine community schools, helping feed over 2,000 students per week with lunches, weekend snack-packs, pantry items, and a Summer Hamper Program.
