Regina Food For Learning, a non\u002Dprofit organization that feeds hungry children in Regina schools, is experiencing an increase in demand.

Gennutt added they served 114,962 snacks, 28,698 lunches and 11,542 breakfasts last school year.

“If you look at some of the back-to-school supplies in the stores, they’re not cheap. If you’re already struggling as a family to put food on the table, it takes a bigger bite out of your budget.” “That’s typically reflected in very low rates of consumption of vegetables and fruit, and also low consumption of whole grains and high consumption of heavily processed foods that we shouldn’t be eating all the time.”
