About Us
Winnipeg Harvest is a non-profit, community-based organization committed to providing food to people who struggle to feed themselves and their families. We are also committed to maximizing public awareness of hunger while working towards long-term solutions to hunger and poverty. Founded in 1984, Winnipeg Harvest opened its doors in 1985. Our immediate goal was, and continues to be, to feed hungry people.
Winnipeg Harvest is a founding member of Food Banks Canada and the Manitoba Association of Food Banks (MAFB). To further Winnipeg Harvest’s mission, we raise:
Money: For every $1 we receive, Winnipeg Harvest is able to pick up and deliver $20 worth of groceries. At Winnipeg Harvest, every loonie matters! You will receive a tax receipt for every donation of $20 or more.
Food: Donations are needed at our warehouse to continue to deliver our promise to share food with hungry people and their families.
Time: Winnipeg Harvest provides volunteer opportunities to individuals as well as welcoming groups such as schools, faith communities and businesses that want to volunteer.
Inspired by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, we are working to reduce by half the need for food banks in our province by 2020.
Through our 320 partner agencies (including soup kitchens, food banks, youth programs, etc.), 58,000 Manitobans receive food from Winnipeg Harvest each month, and almost 11 million pounds of food moves through our warehouse per year. Winnipeg Harvest shares food through the Manitoba Association of Food Banks with hungry families throughout the province.
