Friendship Inn seeing increase in demand ahead of Thanksgiving Weekend
The Friendship Inn has seen an increase in numbers in the past few months, they say this Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner is expected to be their most attended.
Saskatoon’s Friendship Inn is experiencing a surge in demand ahead of Thanksgiving weekend, with the establishment serving 55,000 meals in September, marking the third consecutive month with over 50,000 meals plated. CEO Sandra Kary expressed excitement about the holiday, noting it is their biggest meal of the year and the community's favorite event.
The team prepares the food about a week in advance, ensuring readiness for the day. Kary anticipates serving more meals this year, with last year's total around 2,500 meals and expecting even higher numbers this time. The increase in demand is attributed to the rising cost of living and the city's growth, as food becomes a priority for those struggling to make ends meet.
The Friendship Inn continues to welcome volunteers and donations, accepting turkeys, coffee, peanut butter, jam and financial contributions. Each meal costs five dollars to prepare.
