Winnipeg Harvest Covid-19 Special Appeal
Join me in making a huge impact in our community. We're raising money for WINNIPEG HARVEST.
Help us feed vulnerable neighbours, at-risk older adults, children and families! *Your donation is tax receiptable.
Winnipeg Harvest is the principal distributor of food to Manitobans through more than 300 food banks and partner organizations across Manitoba. In a normal month, they feed 70,000 people including 25,000 kids. Since the COVID-19 crisis struck Manitoba, there has been a spike in the number of people who need food. Why?
Schools and daycares closed ending access to weekly meal programs for hungry kids. Also stopped Breakfast2Go weekend food for hungry kids. Businesses closed or reduced hours ending jobs or reducing wages for many and causing incredible stress for families already living cheque to cheque. Government assistance packages are not expected to flow until at least May, which means people will lose at least 3-4 pay cheques.
Coping with this pandemic is the greatest challenge we have ever faced. We need to come together as a community and get through this upheaval.
You can help right now by chipping in whatever you can!
Experts across the country are encouraging us to have a 14-day supply of food—enough to last the quarantine period if needed. Winnipeg Harvest is making large, pre-packaged hampers for distribution to families in need. The hampers will include standard non-perishable items like pasta, sauce, canned vegetables and meats, as well as baby food, formula, bread and other main food staples.
* Your gift of $25 will buy 10 lbs of food for a child or at-risk adult.
* Your gift of $60 will buy one large hamper to feed a family of four.
* Your gift of $250 will feed 4 families, one large hamper each.
Be a Harvest Hero. We need your support now more than ever to keep food flowing to those who need it most.
Thank you in advance for your incredible and much welcome generosity!
