Save-On-Foods supports Medicine Hat Public Library’s Honeycomb House

A space that Kuhn and other library staff have worked to develop since it opened in the summer of 2023.

Teas, fruit juices, juice boxes, bread, peanut butter, jam, cookies, oatmeal, fresh fruit, Mr. Noodles, and Kraft Dinner are items that store manager Tony Segouin and his team brought in the first delivery on Jan. 28.

When Kuhn reached out about a possible sponsorship, Segouin was surprised by the number of teens the Honeycomb House sees each month.

“I found out that they reach 300-plus students a month,” Segouin said.

“We want to let teens know that we’re here in the community to support them in whatever thing that they need.”

Kuhn said snacks are important at the Honeycomb House to combat food insecurity and help teens who sometimes arrive at the space right after school and don’t get home until after dinner time.

She is enthusiastic about her gratitude for this new partnership and the newly named Save-On-Foods Bee Bites Snack Zone.

“We just want to say a huge thank you to Save-On-Foods for taking on this major sponsorship,” Kunn said.

“It is a huge burden off of the library’s shoulders, and we can’t wait to work more with them and offer this amazing space and resources to the teens in our community.”
