How We Help
HOW TO GET FOOD
For food assistance please phone (204) 982-3660.
We help anyone who asks us for food. We simply require that you provide a Manitoba medical number to receive emergency food.
| Monday – Friday: | 9:15am till 3:30pm | |

Our volunteer phone operators will assist you in making an appointment at a Winnipeg area foodbank.
Each month, nearly 64,000people in Manitoba use food banks.

Winnipeg Harvest and Partner Agencies
Winnipeg Harvest distributes food through more than 330 neighbourhood agencies. Partner agencies, throughout the city and province include churches, community centres, schools, post-secondary education facilities, day cares, soup kitchens and community agencies.
Quick Facts:
Food banks, many of which are faith based organizations, provide grocery hampers to individuals and families. Two of the most vulnerable populations in Manitoba we provide food to are children and the elderly. Last year more than 47% of food bank recipients were children and the number of seniors fed continues to grow. Food banks supplied by Winnipeg Harvest can be located within the city or in communities outside Winnipeg.
Day cares, many located within the inner city, depend on Winnipeg Harvest to stretch the food budgets allotted to them. In addition to day cares, community organizations for children and youth depend on Winnipeg Harvest to provide up to 100% of their snack or meal needs.
Community Kitchens help those in need to combine resources, cooking and preparing healthy foods together to take to their individual homes. Winnipeg Harvest helps supplement these programs with available vegetables and other food items.
Winnipeg Harvest also provides food products to the major soup kitchens within the city.
