    ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 2 0 2 0 / 2 0 2 1 A N N U A L R E P O R T MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR The work of Regina Food Bank is critical to Regina’s support of those facing food insecurity since its’ founding almost 40 years ago. In those many decades we have never faced a crisis like COVID-19. The activities of Regina Food Bank extend beyond the critical service of procuring, receiving, handling, and distributing thousands of pounds of food a year. Our mission is to serve those most vulnerable in our community by providing programs and service directly and through partnerships in the areas of food provision, essential skills development and connections to community supports and opportunities. None of this is possible without our donors, sponsors, community investment partners, and volunteers, and for that, on behalf of the Board I would like to offer our most heartful thank you for supporting our mission. We cannot do what we do without all of you. Your Regina Food Bank Board of Directors is responsible for the strategic direction and overseeing operations. We work together in alignment with leadership to deliver our vision, mission, values, and strategic priorities for Regina Food Bank. During a time of unprecedented change, I am happy to report that we enter 2021-2022 having progressed in this work. As I enter my role as Board Chair, I would like to thank my Board colleagues for their hard work and dedication, especially during this last year. As a board, we can support growth opportunities and empower progressive strategic priorities to best address the ever-changing face of food insecurity in our city.
