\u00a0The Canadian Press The food bank in Regina has opened a new location using a first-of-its-kind model in Canada that allows clients to select their items. The Regina food bank says the space will let people choose food as if they were shopping at a grocery store, rather than having to take pre-made boxes. It says the model accommodates the unique dietary and cultural needs of users while fighting record food insecurity. The centre will bear the name asahtowikamik, which means feeding lodge in Cree. The hub will also offer financial, nutritional literacy and Indigenous programming. In 2023, Regina’s food bank served more than 65,000 households, an increase of 17 per cent from the previous year.
