This is What Hope Can Look Like in the Fort
Hopeful for a better, sweeter tomorrow, the Fort Saskatchewan Food Gatherers Society—caring operators of your local Food Bank—are cooking up a community experience to feed hungry hearts and minds as well as body. With the potential to serve a full menu of cooking, nutrition, and family and personal advancement classes, as well as volunteer opportunities and corporate team building, the Fort Saskatchewan Food Bank is growing into the Nourishment Centre and is widening its doors to both the community at large and to clients in need in order to burn through stigmas and social classes and strengthen the very fabric and future of our community.
