The Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre reminds residents it is here to help those struggling with food insecurity in the Battlefords and the surrounding area.
Erin Katerynych, executive director, says “If you are struggling to make ends meet, we are here to help you with emergency food hampers.”
The Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre is located at 1171-101st St, North Battleford. Hours of operation for food distribution are Monday-Friday, 9:15 a.m. to noon. Currently the centre is allowing three people into the food bank at a time to pick up an emergency food hamper. No referral is needed.
For those who are not sure what to bring for their first time accessing the Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre’s Food Bank, Katerynycg says, “We ask that you bring identification for you and everyone in your household, along with a piece of mail or a bill that has your address, as our policy is one emergency food hamper per household.”
If you are sick, or have a compromised immune system please stay home, says Katerynych, and have someone come and pick up the emergency food hamper for you.
