Yorkton Stories

Take what you need, leave what you can

Dick DeRyk Season 1 Episode 12

A community fridge opened in Yorkton in mid September 2023. It's a place where someone who has no food to eat, and at the time doesn’t have the means to buy it, can go anytime day or night, every day of the year, and find food for themselves and their family. 

It's also a place where those who would like to help people who have little or no food can drop off donations of food, also anytime.

It's a mutual aid project operated by a working group of volunteers who want to help solve problems -- in this case food insecurity in the community -- through collective action rather than waiting for someone else to come to the rescue.
