Now that students are back in class, other programs like their breakfast program and weekend nutrition program are also in session. “The need doesn’t go away just because school is out,” Kerr said, calling it a “big increase.” The organization’s Food on the Move program - which serves meals to children out and about in parks and community spaces through the summer in Saskatoon - served 10,631 bagged lunches this year.Ī volunteer with the Salvation Army’s Food on the Move program hands a bagged lunch to a child in Saskatoon in summer 2023. Lieutenant Derek Kerr, executive director of community and family services with the Salvation Army in Saskatoon, said one program saw an increase of about 3,000 meals this summer compared to last year. However, Gennutt fears the cost of rent setting back the number of meals RFFL is able to provide for kids as the need grows.The Salvation Army runs a number of food programs throughout the year in Saskatoon and Regina. She added that the organization is mostly limited by their capacity to store food presently and require a larger space to be able to serve more students. “We would get a request and she would work some magic and move some things around and we were able to move a couple of things this year again,” she said. However, Gennutt said they always try to make room.
Last year already, Gennutt said her food coordinator told her the organization did not have any more capacity. “The demand is definitely higher and I actually had to turn down three programs this year just because we’re beyond capacity,” Gennutt said, adding that the vast majority of schools they served last year - 80 per cent - asked for more help this year. Those numbers are close to last years - when the organization was serving about 950 students - but there is still another school that will be joining the program this year. Lin Gennutt, executive director of Regina Food for Learning (RFFL), said the organization is serving about 959 kids at 15 schools in the city.
