Food for Thought is a welcoming prenatal nutrition program designed for pregnant refugee and immigrant women, international students, and spouses who may be feeling isolated or facing extra challenges. Through a strong partnership between the Saskatoon Open Door Society and the Saskatoon Health Region, this program is co-facilitated by staff from both organizations and takes place at the West Wind Primary Health Centre.

Supported by the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program, Food for Thought offers more than nutrition education—it creates a supportive community where families can build connections, ask questions, and learn how to access public health resources and local services. The goal is to help expectant parents feel supported, informed, and confident as they prepare to welcome their new baby into the world.
