CBC Saskatchewan works annually to help the less fortunate during the holiday season by promoting Food Banks of Saskatchewan.

This year, our ask is simple. Please consider donating. The goal is to raise $1 million.

Financial contributions allow food banks to better help those in need.

Inflation is driving hunger and food insecurity, and Saskatchewan's food banks are seeing increased demand. Your donations will ensure they are ready to help.

Food as kindness

The face of hunger in our communities is real and there are many ways we can help. No matter how big or small, every act of kindness makes a difference.

Your community needs you.&nbsp;If you have time to give, you can volunteer at your local food bank.&nbsp;

Whether you sign up for a shift at a food bank warehouse&nbsp;or help out with special events, every contribution makes a difference.

Food banks are reporting that they're the busiest they've ever been, and also trying to keep up with rising food costs themselves.
