Saskatoon Food Bank and Learning Centre Project

A long-standing community-based organization, the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre (SFBLC) started as a temporary project in the summer of 1983. A year later, it was incorporated as a non-profit entity and remains “committed to ensuring a food-secure community where all people have access to safe, affordable, and nutritious
food.” The SFBLC currently offers a variety of programs, services and initiatives addressing the underlying causes of food insecurity and poverty in the city of Saskatoon.
Approaching its 40th anniversary, the organization wishes to examine and share its own history. In anticipation of this event, the SFBLC is partnering with the University of Saskatchewan History Department’s Co-Lab—Centre for Community-Engaged and Collaborative Historical Research (Co-Lab) to review and document its organizational history, highlighting the organization’s important contribution to the city of Saskatoon. The project will create a report and several short videos documenting this history.
