This morning more than 750 Canpotex Cheer Crates are being handed out to Saskatoon Public Schools’ families.

The Cheer Crates were renamed this month to reflect the generosity of Canpotex after the company committed to 75,000 a year for three years to support the purchase of food items for Cheer Crates.

The Cheer Crate Campaign was created to support Saskatoon Public Schools’ families in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Foundation says the need to support families continues.

Cheer Crates are valued at approximately $100 each and include food items such as dairy products, eggs, bread, fruits and vegetables, cereal, and canned goods as well as books, hygiene items, and fun activities for the family. Community school coordinators and staff in Saskatoon Public Schools help identify families that would benefit from a Cheer Crate.

The next dispersal of Cheer Crates are prior to the February school break.
