We all hear and see, almost daily, how Yorkton and SK has a “booming economy” with wealth being created in many new places. Unfortunately, this wealth is not spread throughout the entire community. Some people in the community are struggling to make ends meet as a result of not being one of the beneficiaries of the “economic boom.” One of the struggles people in Yorkton are having is providing food and meals for themselves and their families. In August 2014, the Yorkton friendship centre in partnership with 601 east Outreach here in Yorkton, launched a breakfast program. In one instance, they have a young person attending the breakfast program who informed that their minimum wage pay does not cover rent, utilities, transportation to work, let alone food. Simple math can confirm this. The breakfast program has been initially funded by the Painted hand Community Dev. Corp., however those funds are being used up. Although they are grateful for their support, they require more assistance from the community. They would like to take this opportunity to reach out to you and your organization and ask for your support for the breakfast program. A financial contribution, a contribution of food, or a contribution of your time preparing a breakfast, would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please call the Yorkton Friendship Centre at 306-782-2822. They thank you in advance for your support! Shoe La La Footwear & Fashions proudly supports the Breakfast Program! We would like to put out the challenge to other groups to help with a donation of breakfast food items! Breakfast items can be dropped off at The Yorkton Friendship Centre located at 139 Dominion Ave or at Shoe La La Footwear & Fashions on 132 C Broadway St W (next to Pizza Hut and Chesters Chicken) Pay it Forward Yorkton!
