Bunge provides lentils to Regina Food Bank

Feb 13, 2026 | 2:14 PM

Up to 105 tonnes of Saskatchewan-grown lentils will help feed families in need.

The Regina Food Bank and Bunge launched Bunge Farmers Feeding Families. The program will see the company donating up to 105 tonnes of locally grown lentils each year with an estimated value of $250,000.

The lentils will provide nutritious food to help feed individuals and families facing food insecurity in the region. Lentils offer high nutritional value, are shelf-stable, and can be used in a wide variety of meals.

The donation will support the Regina Food Bank’s ability to provide a consistent, plant protein option to neighbours in need while also highlighting the important role local agriculture plays in community well-being.

Kyle Jeworski, head of Bunge in Canada, said the company plays an important role in marketing and moving farmers’ crops to support the food security of countries around the world.

“As an industry leader with a significant presence in communities across Saskatchewan, we firmly believe it’s just as important to support food security here at home, and our partnership with the Regina Food Bank is a great way to demonstrate our commitment,” Jeworski said.

The donated lentils will be distributed through the Regina Food Bank’s programs, partner agencies and school food programs, helping thousands of families and children access nutritious meals. As food costs continue to rise, protein-rich foods like lentils are increasingly important in supporting balanced diets for families.

Regina Food Bank CEO John Bailey said the partnership is an example of how industry and community organizations can come together to make a real impact.

“A donation of this scale means more nutritious meals, more flexibility in our food programs, and meaningful support for neighbours who are struggling to make ends meet,” he said. ‘Bunge Farmers Feeding Families’ also recognizes the role of farmers and the broader agri-food sector in addressing hunger.”
