Winnipeg Harvest

Share Your Thanks

Thanksgiving is the traditional time of harvest, a time to celebrate a good crop and our good fortune with family and friends. We usually load up our grocery carts with special purchases to make Thanksgiving dinner a memorable one.  But the holiday can be bleak for many of our most vulnerable citizens. Winnipeg Harvest thanks you for sharing your Thanksgiving. Most grocery outlets are equipped with bins near the front of their store to accept your donation of groceries to Winnipeg Harvest year round.

A few weeks before the Thanksgiving weekend, you’ll receive a brown paper grocery bag inserted into your Winnipeg Free Press newspaper.  Simply take it on your next grocery trip, and fill it with high-protein, non-perishable food items.  Then drop it in the Harvest Food Bin at your  participating grocery store.  You will help us restock our shelves with much-needed food staples to get through winter.  We currently supply emergency food to almost 58,000 Manitobans each month.

Call Winnipeg Harvest at (204) 982-3663 to register as a volunteer for the Share Your Thanks weekend event.
