Every day, more Canadians find themselves struggling to put food on the table. Many local communities are on the brink of crisis as more people turn to local charities, non-profits and food banks. But what if these resources dry up too? Learn how Innovation’s 2025 Food Security Campaign looks to solve hunger and bring hope back to your local communities.
Background
The pandemic, inflation, tariff discussions, and rising food costs have stretched Canadians’ pockets to the limit. More Canadians than ever are turning to hunger relief organizations for support. But these community pillars are struggling too. In 2024, nearly 30% of food banks reported running out of food, and 56% gave out less to avoid shortages. The food-banking system is at its limit. That’s why we introduced the Food Security Campaign. Our Food Security Campaign supports local organizations to break the stigma around food insecurity and ensure access to food for those in need.
History
Innovation first kicked off the Food Security Campaign back in 2021 as a direct response to the growing demand for necessities following the pandemic. Since that time, the campaign has helped serve over 65,000 meals to people in need. And this year, we’re going back to our roots here in the beautiful province of Saskatchewan!
Six Local Organizations
We’re partnering with six amazing local organizations that are the backbone of our communities. One of these partners is the Aboriginal Friendship Centres of Saskatchewan, with whom we’re working to bring food programs to the northern communities of Île-à-la-Crosse, Buffalo Narrows and La Loche that have long gone with limited food security support.
Here are the complete list of 2025 Food Security Campaign partners:
Aboriginal Friendship Centres of Saskatchewan (Île-à-la-Crosse, Buffalo Narrows and La Loche)
Battlefords Empty Stocking Fund/Battlefords District Food and Resource Centre
Meadow Lake Food Bank
Regina & District Food Bank
Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre
The Salvation Army Swift Current Innovation plans to serve over 15,000 meals through the Food Security Campaign this year to those facing food insecurity.
