organize a food drive
Many caring individuals and groups hold food drives for
Winnipeg Harvest in their place of worship, neighbourhood, school or
company. We are happy to help you with your food drive.
Winnipeg Harvest can provide the following:
Food collection bins or containers
- Pickup of food that is not able to be dropped off at our location
Signage
Winnipeg Harvest brochures for you to distribute or post in your area
Coin cans for cash donations
A staff person to speak to your group about Winnipeg Harvest
Guided tours of Winnipeg Harvest operations (approx: 30 mins.)
A great big thank you from the Winnipeg Harvest team!
Here are some tips that may help your drive be successful:
Clearly let people know if you are collecting food, or money, or both
Set a timeline for your campaign
Set a goal for your campaign
Consider inter-departmental challenges with incentives
Consider a team-building kick off to your campaign such as a group BBQ – make it fun!
Consider touring Winnipeg Harvest or spend a morning volunteering together in our warehouse to create team spirit and provide a deeper awareness about hunger in our community. You’ll see first hand why your involvement matters
Celebrate your achievement at the end of your campaign!
