Food Hub

INTRODUCING THE BMO Asahtowikamik COMMUNITY Food Hub

Thanks to local businesses & families, over $5,000,000.00 was raised to make this dream a reality

Located at 1881 Broad St. in the heart of downtown Regina,

the Community Food Hub is a bold national first. It looks and feels like a grocery store, but the food is still free for clients. For the first time in 40 years, our clients are choosing the food that their family needs.

Currently, approximately 70 families visit the Food Hub daily.

FINANCIAL AND NUTRITIONAL LITERACY PROGRAMS

For school aged children. In partnership with Co-operators and Agriculture in the Classroom, Regina Foodbank has launched new programs that are expected to reach 1,300 students during the first year. These programs are aimed at educating children on food budgeting and making healthier eating choices. Education will include understanding food labels, the importance of balanced nutrition and meal planning on budget.

Hosting these sessions at the Food Hub allows students to learn in a real-world setting.
