in the face of reality
Between the rising cost of living and inadequate income support, more folks are struggling to make ends meet … as inflation slows, the price of food continues to increase, and with this rising cost of living, many families are making tough home decisions, a common reality we’re facing more and more in Saskatoon.
“walk with us” campaign
Imagine walking a mile without knowing where your next meal is. For many people in our community … it’s daily life. This May, we invite you to Walk with Us, and step into the shoes of those who are facing hunger and tough decisions every day.
By walking alongside us, you start to understand the weight they carry and the power we hold. Our donation drive’s theme is a heartfelt call to action: step into the shoes of those who struggle, and together, we can make a difference in someones life.
Real Stories. Real People.
Behind every donation is a story, a child who goes to bed with a full stomach, a parent who can focus on work instead of worry, a senior who finds comfort in a warm meal. By participating in “Walk with Us,” you become part of these stories. Your generosity is the step that leads someone out of hunger and into hope
“Walk with Us” isn’t just a campaign slogan … it’s an invitation. We want our community to experience, even for a moment, what it’s like to face food insecurity. We want to build empathy, understanding, and a shared commitment to ending hunger locally. Your support doesn’t just fill shelves; it fills hope.
Every post, every share, every step counts.
