The Martensville Food Pantry, which operates out of the Martensville Civic Centre, received a much-needed financial injection of $5,000 on Wednesday, August 7 from the Affinity Credit Union North District Community Development Funding Grants program. The Food Pantry prepares and distributes food hampers to people in need on a weekly basis. The food is sourced through donations from local businesses and area residents, and operating space is provided by the City of Martensville. The Affinity Credit Union North District represents credit union members in Borden, Dalmeny, Hague, Hepburn, Laird, Langham, Martensville, Osler, Rosthern, Waldheim, Warman and surrounding regions. The grants are awarded to organizations that enhance the well-being of vulnerable individuals, groups or communities, and which promote sustainable economic development and environmental sustainability.
