Board of Directors

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Hunger exhausts. Without a full belly, there's not much anyone can do. Hunger dooms the best-laid plans. Napoleon famously said that an army marches on its belly. Well, so does a society. The Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre aims to stamp out hunger and eliminate other barriers to the well-being of all Saskatoonians so that our city can achieve its full collective potential. We on the Board of Directors (a diverse group of individuals) are committed to reaching this goal and every month we meet with management to discuss our progress. We welcome the input of every member of our community.

Together, and only together, will Saskatoon become the city we want it to be.
