Our Mission Statement
Winnipeg Harvest is a non-profit, community-based organization. We are committed to providing food to people who struggle to feed themselves and their families. We are also committed to maximizing public awareness of hunger while working towards long-term solutions to hunger and poverty.
Supporting Beliefs:
We believe every single person in every neighbourhood offers strengths, capacities, abilities and gifts. Hunger and poverty diminish a person's capacity to be effective in their family, neighbourhood and society.
- Collecting and using surplus food is in itself a worthwhile activity.
- People from every walk of life are necessary to fulfill our mission.
- Governments have the legal and moral responsibility to ensure all Manitobans have adequate necessities.
- This should include nutritionally adequate and culturally appropriate food.
- Solutions to poverty will only be found once people living in poverty are invited to the table.
- We should work with the community to seek solutions to the causes of hunger.
- We have a responsibility to be leaders in combating poverty in Manitoba and in Canada.
