Jubilation Program and Prince Albert Aid to the Homeless and the Hungry – The two social agencies have been coordinating food donations in Prince Albert for years. They are looking for ways to support a major increase in demand for services and food this time of the year. If you know an outfitter or hunter within your respective churches, would you be able to tell them that donations of “wild meat” would gladly be accepted by “Prince Albert Aid to the Homeless and the Hungry”. Cutting and wrapping, or de-feathering (ducks & geese) is not necessary as it can be done by our volunteers. Thanks for thinking about the hungry in Prince Albert and Area. Call Angela Impey at 306-940-4241.
