Manitoba consistently has the

highest rate of child food bank

users in Canada. Winnipeg

Harvest helps feed 60,000

people each month and in that

group of 60,000 approximately

27,000 of them are children.

In October, our school got

together and collected canned

foods and non-perishable

food items to donate to

Winnipeg Harvest. When

the night of Halloween

rolled around students

from Me to We went

around neighbourhoods

near Sargent Park asking

people to help donate canned goods and non-perishable food items. Even students from grade 1 all the way to grade 9 participated, we brought a total of 1,050 canned goods to Winnipeg Harvest. At the end of the month, we delivered it to Winnipeg Harvest and we were thrilled of the good deed we’ve done.
