Our new Food Bank hours start today! Food Bank distribution is now Monday-Friday 9:00am-11:30am

Due to a technical glitch on our website we have not been receiving Volunteer Applications made on the website the past couple months. We are currently working on fixing the problem. Sorry if you tried to volunteer via our website, we were not intentionally ignoring you.

Daniel Albert stopped in this morning and donated over $400.00 that he raised by himself by running from Saskatoon to Maymont!
