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 36,000 people each month. Winnipeg Harvest is a founding member of the Canadian Association of Food Banks, and is a member of the Manitoba Association of Food Banks.
Last year Winnipeg Harvest distributed over 8.7 million pounds of food to over 300 Member Agencies across Manitoba, including food banks, soup kitchens, youth programs and drop-in-centres.
