October, 2020 – Saskatoon - Western Canada’s largest grocery retailer, Save-On-Foods, is partnering with the 4-H programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to help connect young leaders of tomorrow with 4-H youth clubs in hundreds of communities. 
 
4-H Saskatchewan has 169 clubs across the province with more than 3,000 members.
 
"We are very excited, alongs with our 4-H colleagues across BC, Alberta, and Manitoba, to welcome Save On Foods to our 4-H Family. We look forward to all of the possibilities this partnership brings to help facilitate the engagement and empowerment of youth members," said Cera Youngson, executive director of 4-H Saskatchewan. "Save-On-Foods is committed to supporting local businesses, farmers, and ranchers, and together, we are dedicated to growing the next generation of business and community leaders."
 
Darrell Jones, Save-On-Foods President, couldn’t agree more.

"Save-On-Foods is pleased to partner with 4-H Saskatchewan - we feel like this finishes our story! Having invested in rural communities for over 100 years, we certainly recognize the importance of supporting youth development in these communities, and in agriculture," Jones said. "We also recognize the value the 4-H program has for urban youth, and we are proud to be a part of the expansion of the program into urban centres through the support of our stores."
 
Save-On-Foods will support 4-H communities in Saskatchewan through a variety of funding, engagement, and activation opportunities throughout the duration of their partnership.

"We look forward to working with Save-on-Foods and investing in the future leaders of tomorrow, while strengthening our communities in the process. 4-H Saskatchewan is very proud of this generous partnership with Save-On-Foods that will give back to communities across Saskatchewan," Youngson added.
