The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association is launching a Beef Drive to help out Saskatchewan’s food banks.
Members can help by contributing an animal, or by donating cash to defray the cost of processing.
“Saskatchewan’s ranchers are legendary for their willingness to help out a neighbour,” said SSGA President Shane Jahnke. “We hope this Beef Drive can help people put good nutritious food on the table.”
Hunger is a problem everywhere, but the recent downturn in the resource economy has increased the pressure on food banks in Saskatchewan. Fresh protein is difficult for food banks to collect through individual donations, so a bulk donation like this is a welcome gesture.
The meat will be processed into hamburger for distribution through food banks across Saskatchewan.
