Winnipeg Harvest is a founding member of Food Banks Canada and a member of the Manitoba Association of Food Banks. This organization helps spreads awareness to hunger and helps give long term solution to both hunger and poverty. One of their goal is to reduce the need for food banks here in Winnipeg. About 63,000 Manitobans receive food from food banks each month. There are different ways you can help fellow manitoba's that don’t have the money to support them self and get the basic human needs.
For Winnipeg Harvest to be able to help other people, they need your help! One way for you to get involved and help people that are going hungry is to volunteer your time. In Winnipeg Harvest you can help by organizing the bread and throwing out the expired ones. You can also help sort out the millions of cans that they receive and putting them into the proper place they should be in. There are other ways you can get involved if you don’t have the time to volunteer like giving donations. You can donate canned goods that you don’t need anymore or donate some money.Your donation doesn’t have to be big. If you donate $1 to Winnipeg harvest it is the same as giving $20 worth of groceries. I think that this global problem can be stopped if everyone worked together and help stop. hunger.
You can donate items like rice, cereals, Kithcen Craft, canned fruits, babby food, ect.
