Need Groceries? We Deliver!

Saskatoon Services for Seniors is proud to provide Grocery delivery to seniors and disabled adults around Saskatoon. Our staff deliver groceries three days each week to help seniors and disabled adults get the food and supplies they need. We shop at the store of the seniors choice and get only what they order. Our staff can not only shop for grocery items but health products as well as they require them. Seniors that have mobility issues can also inquire if they need assistance with the delivery and our staff can help put their items away for them as well in the home. We have a small $6 delivery fee along with a 10% administration fee. If you are interested in this program contact our office today!

Getting Enough Vitamin D?

It’s impossible to get your daily dose of vitamin D through diet alone, even with fortified foods. Vitamin D is known as the “sunshine vitamin,” since our body produces vitamin D naturally through direct exposure to sunlight. Just 10 minutes a day of mid-day sun is plenty. However, we may not get a sufficient amount of vitamin D through the sun alone in the winter months, so taking a vitamin D supplement might be necessary. Speak to your doctor and pharmacist about how to safely get enough vitamin D for your specific health needs.
