Fighting Hunger in Our Community.
Canna Green Teams up with Farmer Jane to Support Annual Food Drive
We’re beyond excited to announce…
We’ve partnered up with our friends at Farmer Jane to help with a cause that’s close to home - their annual food drive!
Every year Farmer Jane hosts a food drive across all their locations and since 2020 has raised over 130,000 meals! There is strength in numbers, and by partnering with other local businesses we believe we can amplify the reach and impact of these efforts. Together, we're aiming to give back to the prairie communities that support us and donate 100,000 meals this fall!
Food drives are about more than just donations .
They're about communities coming together and neighbors helping neighbors. In the last 5 years, national food bank usage has increased by 76%[1] , and many in our city are facing food insecurity with some reports from 2021 indicating as many as 22% of Regina residents[2] .

Every year, a group of licensed producers from our industry step up to help.
