You can double the worth of your donation to the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre if you donate in February. The “First Bites” Campaign ends after Friday, so you still have a chance to double your donation with Canpotex, which is matching all donations up to $50,000. Organizers say the goal is close, so this is the last push to to get the total over the top.

The First Bites Campaign highlights the importance of proper nutrition for children. The Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre realizes that many children living in poverty face gaps in nutrition, with limited access to healthy and affordable food options. In Saskatchewan, 1 in 5 children experience poverty, and 41 per cent of those served by the SFBLC are children.

If you want to purchase some toddler-safe foods rather than a cash donation, some suggestions include meat, fruit and vegetable purees, baby cereals, crackers and puffs, and toddler-safe, non-perishable foods.
