Harvest & South Winnipeg Food Drive

Apr 25, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic and many wars throughout the world are creating much sadness and hardship for so many in our city. Prices of food, accommodation and transportation are increasing, and many Winnipeggers are struggling to make ends meet. Newcomers are arriving with few belongings, seeking peace and comfort. The need for support has never been greater. South Winnipeg residents have an amazing community spirit, very generous hearts, and are taking action to help ease the suffering.

We are extremely grateful to the Align Development team for providing access to their building (former Subaru dealership). This would not be possible without their generous support. Please join us in helping raise food for so many in need!
