The Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours, commonly known as SIGN, is a not-for-profit agency in Yorkton, Saskatchewan Canada that provides 24 social and community programs and services ranging from daycare and before-and-after school programs to parenting and family support, from senior mobility to assistance for those living with HIV, from housing support to vocational employment, from walk-in counselling services to Indigenous cultural programs. Our podcasts explore those programs and include conversations with people who speak first-hand about the issues they have faced, but more importantly, how they have successfully overcome them.

Episode 14
The Kamsack Family Resource Centre (KFRC), a SIGN program which serves the community northeast of Yorkton, is undertaking a two-pronged food security and nutrition program starting in June.
There is no food bank in the community, so Kamsack Family Food Security will provide some of the basic food needs of families who have an emergency situation.
Kamsack Family Meal Kits aims to improve nutrition for families by teaching how to prepare and cook healthy meals that will encourage long-term healthy eating habits.
Andrea and Megan, the staff of KFRC, talk about the whys and hows of the programs.
