Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation invests $200,000 in the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre’s new building!
Building on a long-standing relationship, this investment marks a major milestone for a purpose-built space that will bring all SFBLC operations together under one central roof.
