Canpotex Cheer Crates

Together, we’ve delivered nearly 10,000 Cheer Crates to Saskatoon families since May 2020!


SPSF packages and delivers Cheer Crates to families who require support during school breaks.

Background

SPSF packages and delivers Cheer Crates to families during school breaks. When schools close, many of our students are left without the valuable supports that they receive during the school day. Some students receive their only food at school through the nutrition programs.

On average, 4000 breakfasts, snacks, and lunches are served daily in 18 Saskatoon Public Schools.

All Canpotex Cheer Crates consist of healthy food including dairy products, eggs, bread, fresh produce, and dry goods, in addition to books, hygiene products, warm items, and fun activities for the family.

“Receiving the delivery took away some stress during these hard times. I can’t thank you enough”

Cheer Crate Recipient

“It’s really nice, especially during these times, to know that there’s a community support network. As a single parent, it’s pretty easy to feel isolated and alone in times like this.”

Cheer Crate Recipient

“The Cheer Crate is a welcome help. I was happy.  There was stuff my kids can play with, and lots of healthy food. I loved the surprise.”

Cheer Crate Recipient

“Thank you so much! The smiles on the faces of the kids when they see all the fun things in the cheer crate brings joy to us all, and the relief on the faces of the parents to have a bit of a helping hand to put food on the table is priceless. Thank you to all who donated food, activities, and time. This means the world to SPS and our families!
