"Imagine walking into a store, picking out all your groceries for the week and
not having to worry about facing an expensive bill at the checkout.
For clients of the Regina Food Bank, that will soon be a reality.
Since the pandemic, there has been a spike in food bank users across the
country, up 25 per cent in Regina alone. One in eight families — and one in
four children — are now food insecure in the city. Of the 16,000 monthly
clients, 44 per cent are kids.
The new Regina Food Bank Community Food Hub, modelled after a traditional
grocery store, is set to open this summer in the former government liquor store
location downtown."
