Lake Country Co-op has joined forces with the Prince Albert Food Bank’s Feeding the Future partners, Lakeland Ford, Connexus Credit Union, and The Broda Group, to have a week long Food Drive for the Prince Albert Food Bank starting June 15^th at our Prince Albert Food Store.

Feeding our Future is a food program that was created to provide emergency lunches for students of the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division and the Prince Albert Catholic School Division who arrive at school without a lunch.

Each lunch consists of supplies to make a sandwich, a piece of fruit, and a yogurt.

This program is sponsored by four local partners Lake Country Co-operative Association Limited, Lakeland Ford and Hyundai, the Broda Group and Conexus Credit Union.

The program started December 1, 2016, since then over 192 THOUSAND emergency lunches have been provided to students.

The Feeding our Future program is intended to be an ongoing commitment.

All four sponsors believe that it is important that we support our local students with whatever means possible. We are overjoyed to see how appreciative the teachers and students are of this program and the impact it has made.

Our youth is our future, we want our children to have every tool to succeed in their future endeavors.

Since the schools have been closed down for a while now, we wanted to still do a food drive to bring much needed supply into our local Food Bank, as we know a lot of families are going there right now.

We have been in talks with the Prince Albert Food Bank and they mentioned they are in much need of food donations as Covid-19 has really impacted them.

So, our week-long Food Drive will consist of having people come down to our Food Store and purchase a For every hungry bag purchased the customer will be able to enter to win a 90 second shopping spree at our Food Store for themselves!

We are hoping this incentive will get people donating in hopes of winning some food for themselves!
