With Recovery Week in full swing, Lloydminster’s Residents in Recovery hosted a community barbecue as part of a food drive.
Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) provided the food from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
Janelle McGillis from SIGA explained it’s all part of the organization’s plan to help the community.
“For us, it’s to give back, to share with our community, to share our success and support where we can,” said McGillis. “We just want to help out where it’s needed.”
Residents in Recovery’s executive director, Tyler Lorenz, said he’s always grateful for the community’s support for his organization.
In addition to running the barbecue, SIGA also donated non-perishables to them. The community donations help in the long run.
“Our food budget is between two and three thousand dollars a month,” said Lorenz. “We support a lot of families in our family treatment program, it goes to helping community out, for sure.”
However, every bit helps. If you’re considering donating to Residents in Recovery, your outreach and support are greatly welcome.
