Over 40,000 pounds of food will be delivered to the Secret Santa warehouse this morning at 9 a.m.

The food is being delivered to the 52nd Street location by the Saskatoon Co-op in preparation for the hamper packing night coming up next Tuesday.

The delivery will help fill nutritious food hampers for 800 families in the community.

CJWW’s Secret Santa was founded by the late radio personality Denny, Carr, who wanted to ensure that all of Saskatoon’s children would receive a new toy at Christmas.

Thirty-nine years later, over 100,000 children and 50,000 families have been assisted by the Foundation, which was established after Denny’s passing in 1999.

Secret Santa now helps 800 Saskatoon families with toys, books and food hampers.
