Welcome to Winnipeg Harvest

Winnipeg Harvest is a non-profit, community-based organization. We collect and share surplus food with people who are hungry. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate the need for food banks in our community.

Winnipeg Harvest was founded in 1984 by Lee Newton, and the warehouse opened its doors in 1985. Currently, Harvest distributes food to over 40,000 people each month. Winnipeg Harvest is a founding member of Food Banks Canada, and is a member of the Manitoba Association of Food Banks.

Last year Winnipeg Harvest distributed over 9.8 million pounds of food to over 320 Member Agencies across Manitoba, including food banks, soup kitchens, youth programs and drop-in-centres.

Winnipeg Harvest took time today (Oct 22 09) to recognize the HMCS Winnipeg and some of their crew members for their long standing support of us in our mission of distributing surplus food to Manitobans. This week they took time out of their busy schedule to volunteer at Winnipeg Harvest. Winnipeg Harvest presented them with a flag and made them Volunteers of the Month. Congratulations and best wishes from all of us.

Corus Radio, (CJOB, Power 97 and Groove FM) and Winnipeg Harvest have teamed up to launch Hunger For Hope, a province-wide fundraising initiative aimed toward ending child hunger in Manitoba. Acknowledging that No Child Should Go to Bed Hungry,this annual campaign will focus its efforts on raising much-needed funds to help feed Manitobas young, specifically babies and infants.
