SASKATCHEWAN — In the depths of a cold Saskatchewan winter, a warm meal and a safe place to stay aren’t just comforts — they’re lifelines.
SaskEnergy, through its Share the Warmth program, is once again offering grants of up to $1,000 to support the community organizations that provide food, shelter, clothing and mental health services to our province’s most vulnerable people.
“Share the Warmth is a powerful example of community spirit in action,” said Mark Guillet, SaskEnergy president and CEO. “The impact that can be made when people come together to spread warmth in our communities is tremendous and we’re proud to continue supporting the organizations that care for those who need it most.”
For the second straight year, SaskEnergy is committing a total of $100,000 in Share the Warmth grants to community-based organizations that deliver essential services and care during the coldest months of the year.
“One of our biggest challenges as a non-profit organization is securing the funds needed to operate our emergency shelter,” says Joanne Gislason, Board Chair of Meadow Lake Homeplate Shelter Coalition Corp. “Receiving a Share the Warmth grant from SaskEnergy last year made a meaningful difference in our work, ensuring that those who came in from the cold not only had shelter, but also a hot meal. SaskEnergy’s support helped us to extend both comfort and dignity to the people who rely on the shelter.”
Applications for the 2025-26 Share the Warmth program are now open for charitable groups and organizations to apply for funding to support projects that align with the program’s goals. The deadline to apply is Oct. 31.
In addition, to celebrate the continued success of the program, SaskEnergy will once again be hosting Share the Warmth Days in early 2026. These community events, which are held in collaboration with Share the Warmth grant recipients, recognize the work of charitable groups and share even more warmth in Saskatchewan communities. More details about the upcoming events will be released at a later date.
Last year’s Share the Warmth program, in celebration of its 30th anniversary, provided grants to support 106 programs in 104 communities, which impacted more than 105,000 people in cities, towns, villages and First Nations across Saskatchewan. Share the Warmth has provided over half a million dollars to more than 500 projects province-wide since 2013.
