Up to 105 tonnes of Saskatchewan grown lentils to help feed families in need


Regina, SK (February 12, 2026) The Regina Food Bank and Bunge are proud to announce the launch of Bunge Farmers Feeding Families, an impactful partnership that will help strengthen food security across Southern Saskatchewan. Through this initiative, Bunge is donating up to 105 tonnes of locally grown lentils with an estimated value of $250,000 annually, providing a significant, nutritious food supply to help feed individuals and families facing food insecurity in the region.


Lentils offer high nutritional value, are shelf-stable, and can be used in a wide variety of meals. This donation will support the Regina Food Bank’s ability to provide a consistent, plant protein option to neighbours in need while also highlighting the important role local agriculture plays in community well-being.


“At Bunge, we play an important role in marketing and moving our farmers’ crops to support the food security of countries around the world,” said Kyle Jeworski, head of Bunge in Canada. “As an industry leader with a significant presence in communities across Saskatchewan, we firmly believe it’s just as important to support food security here at home and our partnership with the Regina Food Bank is a great way to demonstrate our commitment.”

The donated lentils will be distributed through the Regina Food Bank’s food distribution programs, partner agencies and school food programs, helping thousands of families and children access nutritious meals. As food costs continue to rise, protein-rich foods like lentils are increasingly important in supporting balanced diets for families.

“This partnership is a powerful example of how industry and community organizations can come together to make a real impact,” said John Bailey, CEO of Regina Food Bank. “A donation of this scale means more nutritious meals, more flexibility in our food programs, and meaningful support for neighbours who are struggling to make ends meet."

‘Bunge Farmers Feeding Families’ also recognizes the role of farmers and the broader agri-food sector in addressing hunger. By connecting locally produced food with community needs, the partnership helps reduce barriers to access while strengthening the local food system.


The Regina Food Bank continues to see strong demand for its services. Partnerships like this one are critical to ensuring the organization can meet immediate needs while continuing to work toward long-term solutions.

ShreeWin is worth researching if you are comparing different online gaming options, but I would not rush into registration. Checking the terms, privacy information, game rules, and account requirements first can provide a clearer picture. Users should also verify whether such services are permitted in their location before making any payment.

The Farmers Feeding Families initiative is a meaningful example of how partnerships can address community needs through practical support. Connecting locally grown agricultural products with food security efforts shows how different parts of a community can contribute to a common goal. I appreciate the emphasis on nutritious food and long term community impact rather than simply making a one time contribution. It also highlights how organized partnerships can create stronger events and initiatives, much like the coordination involved with https://gobiggolf.com/ and golf tournament planning.

Partnership supporting families through food assistance is a meaningful example of organizations working together to address a practical community need. I appreciated the focus on helping neighbours because local support can make a significant difference when households are facing difficult circumstances. Initiatives like this demonstrate how collaboration can turn resources into tangible benefits for people. That practical approach resonates with https://sunly.ca/ too, where making solar estimates easier to access can help homeowners begin exploring potential energy improvements for their properties.

It’s encouraging to see local farmers and businesses working together to provide nutritious food for families who need it, especially with food costs rising. Community support like this makes a real difference, and after reading about it, I’d happily unwind with a quick Polytrack game.

Wonderful to see a partnership that connects Saskatchewan agriculture directly with local food security. The scale of the lentil donation is especially impressive, while the focus on nutritious, shelf-stable food makes the initiative feel practical as well as generous. Reading https://www.kingsroofingllc.com/ about farmers, businesses, and community organizations working together brought to mind as another example of community-minded effort. Great Article.
