We need your help.
25,000 people in Regina will go hungry today.
Half of them are children.
Food bank usage has increased by 76% in the past 5 years – the highest it’s ever been in Canadian history. Sadly, because of the Food Bank’s current capacity, only 40% of families can actually access our services.
THE IMPACT OF HUNGER:
-
Higher rates of depression and anxiety
-
Higher rates of physical illness
-
Lower economic development
-
Lower graduation rates
-
Stunted development in children
It takes more than food to feel full
it involves the ability to choose what you put on your table, whether that choice is dietetic, cultural, or otherwise.
We envision a world where everyone can choose.
To feed our future, we’re embarking on a $5 million campaign so we can increase access to food bank services to those who need it. We need your help.
