On behalf of the Sask K of C Charitable Foundation, Wayne Matt, Treasurer of Archbishop O’Neill Council #8896 in Regina, presented a $3,000 cheque to Andrea Soby, Officer Manager of the Regina Food Bank.

Food insecurity remains a critical health issue in Regina, affecting over 25,000 people daily. The Regina Food Bank has evolved since 1982 from offering short-term relief to becoming an essential partner in combating hunger in our community. In 2023-2024, we served 19,974 unique individuals – a 21.7% increase from the previous year – distributing 84,988 hampers and over 3.2 million pounds of healthy, quality food.
